I just bought a MBL and as per instructions, I connected it to network at the office, steady green light came but it did not appear on my macbook’s finder, then I checked on a windows computer without changing anything, it does not appear as well. Meantime, we’re sure ethernet cable works as expected, tested with computers and printers.
Then I tried the software, discovery tool but no use.
Then I took it home and connected with the same procedure, it showed up instantly on a windows computer and on another macbook.
Office network is not a complicated one and does not have interesting policies, passwords etc, is just the same with my home network. (It’s a small office with no servers etc)
What might be the problem with the office network? I cant find any differences.
EDIT : In addition to above, it works fine when connected directly to a computer in the office network.
If DHCP, at work, check your DHCP server or router, whoever that is, to make sure MBL is listed. Or try to plug in another DHCP device on same port and cable see if that works. If using laptop make sure wireless is off.
If static, networks might be different at each location.
I’m pretty sure the cable works fine. After trying the ethernet ports on the walls with no success, I unplugged the network cable from a working printer, which has no wireless. MBL did not work again, I tried the IP address of the printer as well.
