I am trying to create a safepoint.  I have a WD 2T My Book.  I open the Create section under SafePoints.   I click the Discover button.  The only thing discovered is WORKGROUP.  I doesn’t actually call out my PC by name.   When I click on WORKGROUP I am presented with four options:

 

admin$

c$

d$

print$

In general, you cannot use those shares.   Those are “Admin” shares which are only accessible to an admin account under specific conditions.

You need to create a share yourself, and connect to that share instead.
