I am having an issue with MBL and Twonky. I bout MBL a couple of days ago and set it on my network at home and it was working perfectly fine streaming it through my x-box 360 and then it stopped working all of a sudden. I cant see the Twonk icon on my computer that got me to the Twonky server settings and options page and I cant see it on my xbox 360 anymore to access the folders where my media is located. I log in to the MBL dashboard and I get a message stating that my network link is down or has become intermittent Please check your network connection. My connection is fine I can access MBL through my comp and view all the data I have in it I just cant stream through my media receivers anymore such as my xbox 360. Can anybody gimme some help please. I have pretty much tried everything, resetting,rebooting, scanning and rebuilding. Unplugged router and MBL as well … If anybody has any helpful info let me know.
you can access the twonky users interface on the drive by doing http://drivename:9000, that way you will be able to access the twonky server through the website
I tried that but I keep getting a page cannot be displayed message in teh browser. i troubleshoot it and it comes back saying the device is detected but it is not accepting a connection. i also get a “network link is down” in the dashboard.
I’m hedging a bet you’ve got the same problem I’ve had and a few people have also had and where Western Digital Support (bless their cotton socks) would guide you to do a factory restore and wipe all your data, my solution is here . . .

It got my Twonky Media server up and running and has worked for a few other people.

For some reason TwonkyServer would not start. Kept on starting and shutting down every time the media server was started.
To login as root on the MyBook Live you need a SSH client like the one at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ .
Solution…
Login to Dashboard and disable Twonky.
Enable SSH ( http://mybooklive/UI/ssh) and login as root using the SSL client.
Commands to issue at the Linux command prompt.
- cd /CacheVolume/twonkymedia
- mv twonky.db PossiblyCorrupt_twonky.db
- mv db.info PossiblyCorrupt_db.info
- logout
The reason the instructions is to rename (mv) the files and not erase them is that my mantra is to keep a copy of anything that’s changed. Just incase some tweak may need to be reversed at a future date. If it all works then PossiblyCorrupt_twonky.db and PossiblyCorrupt_db.info can be erased.
Login to Dashboard and enable Twonky.
Login to Twonky’s web interface ( http://MyBookLive:9000/)
The status screen should show that the scan is in progress.
In response to the error…
