Hello,

Try using a Static IP for the My Book Live and also you may try WD Link in order to map it.

Hi, I’m also having this problem and my MBL has always had a statically assigned address.

Try this. Go into the credential manager in the control panel if there still is a credential manager (not sure ) and add a credential. Fill in the name you gave the WD Book live and the login user name and password.  This worked for me and I am using Windows 7. Might work for you.

How did that work for you?? From what I know there isn’t a windows 7 app for the drive.
