"my book live" 1tb -- wont connect

 My internet is connected, the cords and green light are in working order. As soon as i try and connect the hard drive the light flashes green and displays the following message …

 " My book live was not found, to verify that it is connected please check the following "

 - check cable connections …

 - be sure that your drive displays a solid green light …

 - check to see that your internet is working properly …

Ive followed the simple instructions to first plug in my hard drive, connect it to the internet, wait for a solid green light, insert the cd and follow the instructions. And yes im running on windows. What am I doing wrong ?

Hello vanisle.

I would go into my router and find the IP address the drive is connecting at and then enter that into Internet explorer to access the drive and to set it up.

That’s what I did, I didn’t even bother with the CD.
