[QUOTE="kjmiles70, post: 1023164, member: 148515"] [b]WD emailed me the steps[/b] This is what I did: In Finder, click Go and point to Connect to Server. Enter smb://wdsharespace or smb://mybookworld and click Connect. Note: If you renamed the network storage during device setup, enter “smb://newdevicename" (where newdevicename is the name you gave the WD ShareSpace or My Book World device). Choose the radio button “Connect as Registered User”. Leave the "Workgroup or Domain" field as the default but enter "admin" into the "Name" and "Password" fields. Choose a share on the drive. Click the “OK” button. The default shares are "Public" and "Download" so you will need to repeat the steps above to map to both of the factory shares Please Note: You should not map to the "Configuration" share as that displays information about the drive and is not a place to store data. That's all I did. Was this good or no good? KJ [/QUOTE]
