WD my book live can not access

Hallo,

I use Windows 7 and WD My Book Live and can connect shares to drive letters or open a share with “\MyBookLive\Public” in explorer or cmd. Sometimes there are troubles and then it help to do the following in a console window (cmd)

net use /del *

or first try to see which connections are established to MyBookLive with

net use

Sample

new connections will be stored.

Status       Lokal     Remote                    Netzwerk

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK                     “\MyBookLive\Public”       Microsoft Windows Network

Then copy the remote share to the clip board and paste it to the next command

net use /del “\MyBookLive\Public”

or

net use /del \* ← there is an asterix

Then try again to access in windows explorer “\MyBookLive\Public” or other shares.

Next make shure that you have created an account in WD MyBookLive dashboard!! Then you can connect to shares by entering username and password from this account  (not the windows 7 account; but you can create the account in MyBookLive with the same username and password as used in windows; notice case sensitive in username: “Antony” is not the same like “antony”)

greetings
