Connect 2GB My Cloud directly through ethernet to laptop

[martinmel]

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone could help me with my 2GB WD My Cloud.
I cannot access the My Cloud with a direct connection through ethernet with my laptop.
I’m pretty sure that I had this possibility on my last laptop (bought a new one for a couple of days) and I have no idea why it is not working now. My new laptop supports a gigabit connection, but it is not detecting the NAS when it’s directly connected with the ethernet cable.

I tried to find some solutions on google, but nothing’s suitable/working for me.

Many thanks,
Martin

There was an issue with my drivers. Everything is working now fine.

Sure, but it was nothing special. I had only to reinstall my LAN driver. Dell hasn’t provided the drivers dorectly for win7, but win10. So I downloaded the one for win10 and it is now working on my win7.
Mapping the network drive went easy.

As said - nothing special. Just a tip for the others: always check your ethernet port if it’s working fine
