Two things: try a different power wart for the hdhr. I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. The power supply was dieing. It would report properly but not record.

It really sounds more like a dieing NIC. I recently had that too! I added an external NIC and that solved the problem. I ended up using a USB-to-NIC adaptor costing $16. Wish I had had one at a couple of points in the past to avoid problems.
