I can access my friggin MyBookLive through the internet. Give it the password, login, see the “shares”, etc. But from my computer if I try to access the drive through Windows Explorer, it asks me for a “Username” and “Password”. I did not assign a password to the shares, but it still asks me for one. I made some shares public and can access them. But for the “priviate” share it asks for a password. I created new private “shares” and it DID NOT ask me to give a password, but yet when I try to access them it still asks me for a username and password. I’ve tried every passwork I know (my logon name and password to the computer, my home network, my router, nothing works.
I have learned to HATE western digital with a passion. I’ve talked to their tech support and they know less than me, and I don’t know a thing. Why do they make this so hard? Trying to connect to this drive through the internet was probably a good idea but WD has no clue of how to make it work (or at least work easily). I would forget interent access and just plug directly into my computer, but the friggin drive has no usb connection. Could WD be any more stupid?
