I’m currently running on AT&T’s UVerse internet, using their silly 2WIRE router. I have a MacBook Pro 2009 model able to access the device flawlessly as well as an ancient PC running XP still…however, the Toshiba Laptop I have running Win 7 Home Premium is not able to connect to the network device. I connected up a 3TB MyBook Live to the network and everything worked flawlessly. But…then I tried to get the Win 7 PC to connect to the device, and every time it asks for a user name and password and I’ve tried every possible combination of usernames and passwords that I have on the device, and it still will not connect. I remapped it once by unmapping it through the command prompt then remapping it, and that worked…now I can’t remember how to do that. I’d like to avoid having to do that every time I want my Win 7 PC to connect to it though. Is there a more permanent solution to making these two devices play nice with each other, or am I going to have to remap every time I want my Win 7 PC to connect?
Hi
You can mapped the drive permanently in your Win7 PC.
-
Open the Windows Explorer
-
Under the “Tool” menu, choose the “Map network drive…”
-
Choose the Drive letter, and fill in the network path (\Your-MBL-IP\Shares)
-
Remember to check the “Reconnect at logon” and “Connect using different credential” (if you using different userid & password to acccess your NAS that is different from your windows logon)
-
Clik “Finish”
Repeat the above steps for another NAS.
