Community Archives WD TV Live Networking
7

I’m ready to return mine. My WDTV has had this issue since I bought it, and none of the firmware revisions have fixed it. I can connect to my windows media server just fine, but connecting to a windows file share (Windows 7, homegroups turned off), only works for a little while, before the WDTV forgets about it, and can’t sign in any longer. The WDTV is connected wired to my server, going through 2 ethernet hubs on the way. Rebooting the server doesn’t help. I do have a Netgear router on the network, I’m not sure what it’s workgroup is. I’m super annoyed. I’m about to get online and trash this piece of S to every forum I can unless I can get some help here. (whine)
