Troubleshooting Windows File Sharing

Hi Tony,

You’ll have to excuse an old dodderer - coming up 72! - but I don’t want to let this  thing beat me!

I recently bought  my WD and initially it didn’t work on file sharing, only USB LaCie Silverscreen. Then, persevering with a pair of  D-Link mains powered connections I started to get my external L drive and all the folders, including videos, etc., which played fine. Also, Vuze recognised the WD and I could - still can - play from there, which seems curious as that software is on my C: drive., which has never appeared on WD, whether set up to share or not.

I can use my L drive but only by locating next to WD and connecting up.

Anyway, I tried following your advice, but cannot get: your results. What I do get  is:

C:\Documents and Settings\George>

George is my PC name. System is XPSP3.

Can you assist before I tear out the rest of my hair?!

Regards,

George
