I can’t connect to my MBW 4TB (white lights) via my router. I’ve updated to Firmware version 1.02.12, no problem, but I can’t use Time Machine the way I want to.
If I connect the MBW directly to my computer (Lion 10.7.2), it shows up all right via Bonjour, and I can use Time Machine. If I connect it to my router (Thomson TG784), I’m unable to use Bonjour. I can connect to it using the IP number (and I can change the unit’s settings), but I still can’t use Time Machine.
Also, I cannot connect to the unit via the router on my other Mac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8).
Someone on this thread suggested turning HDD standby off, which I did, but it doesn’t help. Someone else suggesting turning Twonky server off, however I can’t figure out how to do so.
I have SSH access disabled, as well as MioNet.
Something strange: When I look at users (Basic mode), WD_Backup (Time Machine User) seems to be diabled – there is a red cross beside it.
Any suggestions (besides waiting for a new Firmware update)?

Here’s another clue to what might be wrong with the firmware: I am able to connect to the MBW via the router, but ONLY if the computer is connected via ethernet to the router. Wireless connection fails.
To sum it up:
- Connect the computer to the router with a cable – Time Machine works fine.
- Connect the computer to the router wirelessly – The MBW is not visible on the network.
Anyone else can confirm this?
