@ranho:
It’s not an useless tutorial, even if it was of no use to you, I find it very usefull.
Finding a malfunction master browser is a wild goose chase without the tutorial.
I never had to use it, but it’s the first time I’ve found a tutorial that can show where the Master Browser is, instead of just saying ppl to turn off random computers, it can show the problem, if it exists there.
You must realize that Tony is trying to help you, no one can guess the root of one problem, he thought the problem was the master browser, the tutorial is the only way to see if the MB is running ok and where it is.
The other option would be to turn off all machines and random turn them on, doing this several times and hope it works.
Edit:
Did you tried to turn off all network machines?
Then turn on first a windows 7 computer (you could also turn off win firewall, we don’t know if you have the default firewall or reconfigured it).
Then turn on the WDTV and see if it works.
I’m not saying it will work, it’s just another try.
To turn WDTV off/on, you must pull the power plug, pressing the remote control power button only puts it in standby.
We can’t say for sure the problem is from WDTV, because there are others with networks shares and without any problems.
