What kind of Firewire card are you using? My DV-Bridge sometimes disappears, but usually only after a much longer time period than you seem to be experiencing , and it comes back after unpowering it and repowering the DV-bridge. Occasionally, my system loses its Firewire capability and I have to reinstall the Audigy software.
What OS are you using and how current are the Firewire drivers for your card? I don't have much idea what might be the problem, but maybe the additional info will catch some's attention.

I'm using XP pro w/ SP1 and i'm using the card that came w/ the DV-bridge


c it doesn't vanish when it disables itself...its still there but u can't control it unless u unplug it then plug it back in.....

Mine looks like it says Indigita Corp. IDT 481 PCI.

I don't use it, my machine has onboard firewire. And I don't have your problem. The DV bridge does mess up the machine if I boot with the bridge connected, but that is easy to solve. Just connect after booting.
