Win7 cannot find MyBookLive

WD Legacy Products My Book Live

All of a sudden I cannot see my “MBL” in Win7, few screens below to show this…

Now I havent changed anything, as far as I am aware and it was fine the other day. I can FTP fine to the drive, and my MBP can still connect to the drive aswell.

Any ideas?

Cheers

do you have a router assigning DHCP IPs to attached devices?  did you reserve an IP for the MBL?  If your router restarted it might have sent a different IP over.

if you know the IP of your MBL put that in the URL field and see if you get the dashboard.  IME, when your notification mouse-over shows no info like that, your network is not properly converting http://mybooklive into the IP where your MBL is located. 

I always advise trying google’s DNS instead of auto for you network adapters, but that’s just worked for me and I’m a network novice.
