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
