Pls help?

So, your WD sees everything EXCEPT your Win2008 box?

Yes,

I just tried a other operating system (windows 7 ultimate x64) and shared a folder. That works fine so it has to be a setting in Windows 2008 r2.

2008 Server is a different beast.   It’s basically Win7, but with all kinds of security controls.

There’s not too many people around here who run enterprise servers in a home space… :wink:

I had that same problem with my Netgear router. Can you try it with a different router or connected directly to your modem to eliminate that possible problem? I had a cheap Dynex router from BestBuy and that worked great. I don’t know what the problem was with the NetGear router and NetGear techs couldn’t help either. Good luck!

Enabling Computer browser and ssdp discovery service in windows worked.
