WD Discovery and WD Smartware can't find my WD My Cloud anymore

All of a sudden it just stopped.

I can map a drive using the IP address no issues and my TV can see the drive via DLNA.

Since then I have fixed the IP and upgraded the firmware.

Still can’t be seen.

Anyone? Mine has been rock solid until this happened. Not a major issue when I can still manually map drives and use DLNA. But what has happened?

Check your firewall and LAN security settings. Some specific services like Network Discovery and Network Location Awareness need to be running in a Home/Work/Private network.
