I am having trouble connecting to my WD My Cloud 2TB over the LAN through Network (Windows), but I can access it via HTTP. So this seems like a Windows problem. I have enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP from the network card settings as described in various forums but its still no go. I have no Firewall or Antivirus blocking the connection.
What can it be ?
How long has this been happening and how are you trying to connect to your My Cloud? Are you trying to open it through File Explorer or a WD My Cloud app? Does it have the same workgroup name as your computers?
The problem is occuring after the unit goes to sleep mode.
I am trying to connect via Windows File Explorer (aka Network Neighborhood). Yes, they are all in the same workgroup. (It also connects OK with WD Cloud app).
Weirdly what I lately discovered is, I can connect if I write the IP address to the Explorer Address bar such as \10.0.x.x
Problem usually resolves temporarily when I restart the Windows machine. But after a while it repeats again. Yes, I am guessing its a Windows problem, but I would like to know the reason. Never ran into such problem with Windows7.
