Hello I just recently started having this problem where my 2 TB My book live won’t show up on my network drive list. I can still access my files by going through the smartware app and opening the folder that way and I can also access my files through my mapped drives. My drive is showing it has the most current firmware (MyBookLive 02.41.05-034 : Core F/W) I am using a win 7 desktop and laptop and a win 8 laptop that won’t show up on the network drive list. I would like to have the drive show up again, any and all help is appreciated.
Hi, have you tried to power cycle your PC and the My Book?
Sounds like you do not have file discovery/sharing turned on.
For Windows 8 - double click on the network icon by the clock. Right click on your network connection and click Turn Sharing On or Off. Turn Sharing ON.
For Windows 7 - Right click on the network icon by the clock, and choose Network and Sharing Center. There will be an icon representing your network on the left hand side. It should say one of these: Home Network, Work Network, or Public Network.
Notice which.
Click on Change Advanced Sharing Setting in the upper left corner. Drop down the network setting corresponding to your network type. The top option should be Network Discovery, turn it on.
You should be able to see your network devices now.
