WD My Book Live Not Found

I’ll try not to go too heavily into the details; let me know if more would be helpful.  I have a WD My Book Live 2TB hooked up to my network by Ethernet cable.  I was using the drive fine.  Then it became “not found”.  It used to appear in the “Computers” section of the Windows Explorer: Network window, but now doesn’t.  It appears in the “Storage” section of that window, and when I double-click on it, I get to the device web page, where (at the bottom) it reports that the status of the drive is “good.”  But if I right-click on it, and choose “open” or “mount public share”, nothing happens.  The light stays green the whole time.  Help!

I have the same issue today. No help but saying ditto!

Windows 7

Can see MyBookLive2TB via Network & QuickView and accessible to  WD Smartware,

cannot map a drive or access share or view the drive through “Computer” interface.

MyBookLive2TB is connected to router and has DHCP IP setting.

At this time I do not have another Operating System to test if it can be done through another OS.

Help! I use this as a storage device for large project data collecting. Time is money and I am losing both!
