For whatever reason, the MyBook seems to get the correct time from the NTP server, then screw it up when applying it to itself, making the time be off anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours.
I was having the same problem, until I disabled the NTP service in the basic setup… Once I did that, I was able to join our domain right away… Hope this helps. I add my Users and Groups to my Privat folder. I can Access this folder with my Windows Server. Hi all. After that I was able to join the domain… Good luck. Let me know if this works…. I have the same problem, windows enterprise edition I installed all windows updates, I update the firmware of the Mybook world.
I hope anyone has an idea. Hi Bodeaux What version of firmware are you using? Cheers Ben. Hi Ben, I have the same problem. I hope you can give me some help! WD Error: Failed to join Domain! When I get some time, I will be tearing down this one too.
The built in server is just way too big of a pain in the neck, and the network interface is terribly slow. Not sure how to map the IP of the drive.
Do you have any procedure or site to help out? Mionet is being used and it is the same computer that was able to log on the my 1st WD worldbook II. Does anyone know how to fix this password issue?
Thanks Don. All I want to do is plug this thing into my Netgear 5 port Switch and set Time Machine to back up to it. WD is useless.
For some reason it will not let me update the firmware. It is simply too noisy. It seems like the drives are running all the time and so does the fan. I want to hide the drive away so I cannot turn it off all the time. Great forum to discuss MioNet service and the WorldBook. I own one since June I finally found out that turning it off my pulling the plug rather than pressing the concentric circle switch for more than 2 seconds did the trick.
Also, If the WorldBook is on for more than 10 hours, it gets invisible probably because it gets hot. Check your Internet connection to confirm your computer is linked. Make sure your security software allows MioNet to connect to the Internet. Click here for more information. After completing steps 1 or 2, click yes to test your connection. Do you want to try the connection again? I tried all of the suggestions posted at their website and none of them work.
I was wondering if anyone in this forum has any answers. I have the feeling that the ethernet port is not working..
In my case the are no lights blinking, although I connected it to a cable that I normally use with my Windows box.
As a lot of others, I had problems getting it to work with my Macs. I complained to WD about it, and they gave me advice that turned my experience around; upgrade the firmware on the device.
I upgraded from FW version Before I could only copy files onto the drive from my Macs , and delete them again; there was no moving about or renaming. Now I can do it all.
A very pleasing outcome. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I tried and failed. I use The drive remained invisible. Thanks for your advice. Ed, it sounds like you did all the right things. What I mean is that if your computers have the following addresses: Try turning DHCP on to see if it makes a difference. Remember to wait a bit for the drive to show up on the network, and keep browsing the network from your PCs to see if you spot it.
The problem is that my PC does not see the drive. The drive does not appear to be faulty but after reading through this entire thread I suspect that it may be.
Mionet was subsequently removed and the MyBook reset with the recovery button. Would it be a logical step to turn on DHCP in the router? How would that effect the PCs on the network? Any help would be much appreciated. On your router manager page generally Might sound a bit complicated but have a fiddle around. Once you have it mapped, you can create a shotcut to your desktop, which is handy.
Joe, this will be my last reply to you. Yes, I learned new things from the comments on my review. Would I buy this drive now? NAS devices are harder to set up than directly-connected devices — end of story.
I never said you were rude, and I never called you a moron. I used your own words to describe you. Thus, this device becomes appealing or should become appealing only to a narrow group of people who have certain needs. This is my site after all, and I regard it as a virtual home for my thoughts. Cool, glad you got there. Hopefully ur all figured now. I ignored the Mio software and just use a mapped network drive, which works fine.
First of all, I did review and research a lot of drives over the course of a couple months. I picked this drive for very specific reasons and it is exactly what I wanted. Third, as I read through the thread I came to the conclusion that you yourself had to be taught quite a few things, so you might think twice before being so smug with someone who is at least trying to learn about technology.
Most if not all the replies related to MAC problems and very little was actually said about PC issues which is why I was asking about that side. As a side note to Edd. In quite a few of the replies and in the manual advice is specifically saying to connect the drive directly to the computer, even by Raoul himself. And I already had a router in between the two.
I ended up finding the IP assigned to my drive and used that to get into the manager page. All that just to say I got it working. Joe and all in the same boat , do you want to be coddled, or would you rather get the truth?
I go for the truth myself. The key is to read up on a product before you buy it, understand how it works, and only THEN decide whether you want to buy it or not. Like I said before, take it back and get a USB drive. Let me guess your answer. Honestly, why?
Ok, I have read through this entire post, and I am lost as a goose. I am running a pc with vista home premium media center. I am not very computer savvy and I am even less intelligent with networking. Can someone please hold my hand and walk me through this? We are happy to hear that the drive is working on your MAC computer. We appreciate customer feedback and like to hear when an issue has been resolved.
But its still not detecting the hardrive. JMR — Try to use your airport utilities to view the connected devices, the IPs should be shown there. Usually the IP shows up there, too. How do I find the IP address of the drive? I am able to connect to the drive but as Guest. How do I find the IP address assigned so I can set up user access? First what a great resource this website is — well done Raul! My problem is with attaching another USB hard drive.
WD Anywhere Access will show the drive as a new usable device. Thanks to your good self i can now achieve what i want to do and have duly started to set the drive up to my requirements. I managed to do what you want.
I have recently purchased a my book world 1tb edition from pc world as advertised. If i go on to my network and access the drive from any of my four computers i can access all the folders and their content.
Am i doing something wrong here, am i missing an important part of the set up or is it just not possible to do this, any help on this matter would be very much appreciated, thank you.
The speed ist quite good with a gigabit router and an n-airport network. The setup was extremely easy. Everything connected, wait a minute, look into my mac network I set it so raid1, took about 5 hours with empty disks.
Mounted it on my desktop, set up a shortcut, gave it a cool icon. Thailand for housing and Malaysia for the drives. Very good device!! Its speeds are far below even Mbps in real-world use. I have read all the posts and I understand most of them. I am still confused about if I should get the My Book World or not.
I have a MacMini and want to hook up the fastest possible external hard drive I am a photographer using large files and at the best price — of course!
I understand that I must use the ethernet connection to my new Airport Extreme or the firewire connection within the MacMini. My reason for being intrigued is I thought the ethernet connection was faster then firewire Is the ethernet connection going to be faster then the firewire ? Should I get another WD external drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! Kyle, in that case, I was wrong. I thought the reset button did more than a password reset.
Before you do a Linux re-install, I think it would be a lot easier to open up the unit, pull out the drives, stick them in your desktop system or in an external enclosure, and reformat them there. Copy off all your non-corrupt files first if possible. Once the drives are re-formatted and put back in the unit, it should let you start from scratch. Raoul — Thank you for the response, it is much appreciated! The red button you speak of is mentioned only once, and only pertains to resetting the admin user ID of the web console.
It does not mention restoring the drive itself or the OS inside to factory settings, or being able to re-format the drive. Just trying to gather as much info as I can about options for re-formatting back to original config. There is a serious LINUX issue here, so I was hoping to truly re-format the drives to get rid of these troublesome files. Recovery Button Pressing the recover button while powering up the device resets the admin user name and password to default without erasing shared folders or volumes.
The recovery button also resets network configuration to DHCP. Note: The default user name is admin and the default password is Use a straightened paper clip or something to depress it for more than 5 seconds. Contact WD support and have them help you with this. The only other solution I can think of is to copy all of the data off the drive, then reset it to its factory settings, reformat it, and copy the data back on.
OK more details I resently descovered that all files and subfolders are marked as read only! Hey Guys, I tried resetting the drive to its default setting, still the same problim what shall I do? Dubai says: Hey Guys, I own a wd world edition 2, 2 tb. I trid from several computers but still the same error an I olso tried desconneting all of the pcs but 1 and still the same im using mionet the latest 1.
What shall i do please help. Just wanna say thanks! I have the Gb version of the World Book that I bought recently. I am very disappointed with the speed. I tried with the 1Gbps, and drive cannot pump data more than about Mbps. So there is no way that you can exceed these speed limits through the network interface provided. In addition small files are getting copied at a very slow rate, do not know why it is happenning, but it is really slow to copy small files.
Here is an example. And yes, holding down the big button for a few seconds will power down the drive gracefully. Hope this helps.
There are still two questions:. How do i partition the drive? Or should i just use it as a single partition with plain folders? How do i power this down? Just hold down the power switch? If I do that will it gracefully turn off? Raoul, I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem resetting to default passwords when the personal password stop working?
So i tried the instructions in the owners guide with no luck. Thanks, -Bob. Pingback: What I did in by Raoul Pop. Thank you all for your input. Mapping the drive is probably worthwhile. Hi Rich. I work in two locations—home and away from home. I need a means of accessing my desktop files from my laptop and vice versa. I simply type Taco in the browser and it takes me to the Management page. Find ip address assigned to the device by your router. Click on General Setup where you can change your device and network name as well as creating users and protecting directories etc.
Also is there a simple way on the local network I can make folders only accessible by certain users or alternatively password protected. A local network is good enough. So maybe this is the place to ask my question? Looking forward to the photos, Christian! On second thought I am going to take this thing apart and look at the hardware. I will post pictures of the insides once I get the time. I still have to put my Nintendo Wii back together. Wow, that really sucks! My speeds are considerably faster, but generally I am transferring a small number of very large files ripped HD-DVDS or large zipped website backups which should account for the disparity.
Good Luck! Grey Jul 4, at UTC. Thanks for trying. This unit is not cool and I'm giving up on it. I got it working on a AD - Windows Server This was done on a Windows domain. In the domain setup for the NAS enter the following: For the Domain name make sure it's the full domain name e. Leave the Netbios box empty. It worked for me. Good luck.
