True what you said but not the Solution. I already deactivated Twonky Server to see if an SMB starts.
Because if i connect from another Source PS3 or Multimediaplayer there is no SMB visible.
Only when i turn on my PC the smb gets started at the MBL and i can connect without problems., and see Cover Art and everything i created with Dune Prime.
When i turn the PC off smb is gone and no connection is possible.
So it seems MBL doesnt start a smb Server to share the data with other PS3 or Multimediaplayer.
And because i dont see my Coverart from Dune with Twonky and my sorted Videos i want to connect with smb.
And i dont mess around with ssh login !!! (actually there are too many People that wrecked their MBL)
Maybe someone knows how a SMB could get configured.
The APPEARANCE is that SMB isn’t running, but SMB is ALWAYS running.
What’s more likely happening is that when you turn off your PC, you’re probably also taking the “MASTER BROWSER” offline.
Without a Master Browser, SMB isn’t going to work.
But here’s the kicker.
It appears WD’s SAMBA configuration tells the MBL to NEVER be the Master Browser. So, if you’re MBL is the ONLY server-type device running on the network, then it’s not going to work, as you’ve seen.
Here’s the MBL’s interesting SMB configuration:
workgroup = WORKGROUP
realm = WORKGROUP
netbios name = MYBOOKLIVE
server string = My Book Live Network Storage
....
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
....
LOCAL MASTER=NO means NEVER become the Master Browser.
I can darn near guarantee you that if you go change that value to YES, your problem will go away.
i figured out a few lines and commands from internet forums at ssh but actually i didnt chnge anything.
im wondering why noone else noticed that.
Does noone use the mbl as normal nas? does everyone use the twonky?
Most of the People have expensive Mediaplayer who can decode evything and they make their own Cover arts with different Software like yadis zappiti dune explorer my movie and so on.
Curious that i didnt find any question about this “Problem” on some forum.
The WD Community was created for Users, such as yourself, to help one another, and to share your experiences and ideas with one another. As Moderators, we are here simply to facilitate and oversee the community. If you have a question relating the what’s going on in the community, we will be happy to respond. However, if you are looking for technical support from WD, you will need to contact them directly.
But Customer support isnt interested in our questions .
They like easy Questions like Can i turn off my MBL or do i have to install smartware ?
But they are not interested in rather difficult problems. And there are far more advanced Users here on the Forum then in Customer support,because as you see the People tryin really to help each other.
Customer support sent me no answer no nothing. Im not mad about support from WD .
Its like it is. Cheap People on support . Ican understand that because they cant pay a Programmer for answering
e- mail Questions.
And i knew that wd support isnt here on the forum. That was ment as a joke .)
