I have a Western Digital My Book Live attached to my network switch. If I open up my browser and type in the IP address I can access the settings for it. I can also see it under Network>Storage and Network>Computer or access it from going to www.wd2go.com. I am not able to access my mounted folder. I get the error "The network path was not found."
When I click on Network>Computer>MyBook I get the error Windows cannot access \\MYBOOK so I click diagnose. It then tells me "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection." I then click view detailed information and under that previous statement it says The device or resource (MYBOOK) is not set up to accept connections on port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)".
I have searched and searched the internet and tried every fix I have found but have not got it working. It has been working fine for years until recently and I can not figure out what to do to be able to use my drive again.
I have uninstalled\reinstalled my network adapter drivers, confirmed file sharing is one under sharing options, reset network settings, gone into my network adapter properties and confirmed that TCP/IPv4 is checked and also went into those advanced properties>WINS> changed NetBIOS setting from default to enable. None of that worked.
If I open command prompt I can ping the drive by both name and IP address.
Does anyone have any ideas?
