Windows 8 network share

Community Archives WD TV Live Hub Firmware

Hello,

I recently purchased a WD TV live hub. I conneccted it via wireless to my router. I connected a hdd to this hub.

I have 2 computers. 1 runs on windows 7 and the other one on windows 8. I try to put movies on the HDD via my computer.

With the windows 7 computer (wireless) I have no problems at all. I can access the HDD through the my computer->network. And the WDTVluve icon shows up. This way i can drag and drop.

My computer with windows 8 (wired) doesn’t show the WDTVLive HDD at all. I once tried the WDlink software and it worked once and hasn’t since. I can’t connect to the HDD using my windows 8 computer.

Anyone know how this is possible and what I can do.

I only have 1 router and all computes and the WD tv live hub are connected to this router. I have internet access on my WD tv live hub. I can’t find my windows 8 computer via network share. It doesn’t show up.

Help is much appreciated.

Hello,

This case sounds like a configuration or permission issues with the windows 8 computer since is the only device that is having the issue.

Check the link below to try WD Link again.

Just a thought… make sure you have the Win8 machine in the same Workgroup as your Win7 machine and your WDTV Live Hub.

and try dropping UAC to the bottom option
