Your computer appears to be configued correctly,but the device or resource (ip address) is not responding

I am at the latest firmware and win update.

I can run WDLink.exe and all is running fine on the drive.  I can’t map a drive from WDLink.  I run as the administrator.  

I have run the Win 8.1 compatibility mode with no improvements upon each test.

Hello,

Just for troubleshooting purposes try connecting the drive directly to the computer to verify if it works.

no that didn’t work.  I can connect to the drive on other non win 8.1 computers.
