My Cloud (TL0030HWT) and My Book Live in same network

Hy Everyone,

I have a question, we have a My Cloud (TL0030HWT) and My Book Live in the same network.

Sometimes the My Cloud is visible and sometimes the My book live is visible but when 1 is visible the other is not.

Does anyone have the same issue or even better the sollution for this problem?

Tnkx in advance for you 'r answers!

Make sure they have unique IP addresses and names.

Hello TonyPh12345,

That 's the case. so we are puzzled at the moment.

a month ago it worked fine and suttenly it did n’t.

The other possibility is that whatever host on your network that’s acting as Master Browser is not working correctly…

On one of your PCs, open up a “Command” window.

(In Win Vista and Win7, click the Orb, and in the search box, type CMD. An icon will appear above the box that says cmd.exe. Click it, and a Command window will open.)

(In WinXP, Click START, then RUN…, and in the box, type CMD. A Command Window will open.)

In the command window, enter the command “net view,” like this:


C:\Users\Tony>net view
Server Name Remark


\BIGNAS1 Big Freakin’ NAS Server 1
\MARS
\NEPTUNE
\WDTVLIVE WDTV LIVE
The command completed successfully.

In my example, there are four active devices that Windows has discovered.

Now, for EACH of those, issue the command “nbtstat -a (name)” for example:

C:\Users\Tony>nbtstat -a bignas1

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [10.0.0.157] Scope Id:

NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

Name Type Status

BIGNAS1 00> UNIQUE Registered
BIGNAS1 03> UNIQUE Registered
BIGNAS1 20> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.01> GROUP Registered
WORKGROUP 1D> UNIQUE Registered
WORKGROUP 1E> GROUP Registered
WORKGROUP 00> GROUP Registered

So, we got lucky here, the FIRST system, BIGNAS1, indicates that it is the master browser, since it lists the name ..__MSBROWSE__.

You need to find out WHICH system is your master browser. If none of these steps work as described, then the issue is likely on your PC itself, and that will require substantial additional troubleshooting.

TonyPh12345,

I Will check it out and inform u if this is the solution.

tnkx in advance.
