hi guys
thanks for your help in advance
i purchased my 1tb my book live home network drive a few days ago
i have connected it to my wireless router
i am currently runing win7
i went through the installation of the drive and it all came through smoothly.
i registered the product and installed the latest firmware
however when i restarted my computer and went to look at the network drives, it was not connecting to the my book live. there wasw a red cross through the icon and when i double clicked it, it gave me an error message of it not eing able to cinnect (cant rememebr exact wording). i dont think its a firewall problem as it passed the whole installation process and i made sure it wasn’t a problem.
i restarted the computer again and still the same problem,
so this is where i dug my hole deeper,
i though i misgh as well start over and it might work,
so i went to my computer and right clicked on the z drive for the mybook live and deleted the drive.
when came to install again (after a restart and this has been done multiple times over a few days now) using the cd, the drive couldnt be found, even if i went to computer then map network drive, it could not be located. the WD SmartWare software is also not detecting the drive.
the only time i have any sort of success in finding the drive on my network through this compter is if i go to control pannel > network and internet > view network status and tasks… and then to see full map of network…
however even then it is quite useless as i cannot do much. i can log onto the my book live however it still cannot be found on the computer.
all this aside, i can access the drive like normal and install on other computers, i just havnt done so as i do not wish to back them up.
plz help???
