Re: WD Mybookworld problem

[Alex Novakovic]

Thanks James - but I am not using firewire. Have Ethernet going from  
drive to router. Same routine may help, though.


Cheers, Alex

Hi WAMugians

I have a WD Mybookworld ext Hard Drive connected to my router. When  
it is visible on my iMac, all is well.  However, if for some reason  
I power it off, I often have a real hard time re-connecting to it.  
I open the finder thru the iMac's HD, Network appears above the HD  
in the first column but the Mybookworld does not appear in the  
second column.  Most of the time I can click to my heart's  
(dis)content and nothing will happen, and then all of a sudden it  
decides to play ball.  Yesterday I gave up.  Today it connected  
after many clicks on Network.


I think I must be doing something wrong here?  Have I not set it up  
correctly, by any chance?  Can someone please give me a pointer?  
iMac is running 10.4.11


I can't seem to get it at all on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2.   
When I open Finder it does not appear under Devices. (Although it  
just did now AFTER I managed to connect to it on the iMac) I hope  
this makes sense to someone.


Many thanks in advance, cheers, Alex
