I have an Iomega Home Media Network Drive on my home Network. On my Windows 8 laptop in the network menu it does not show up as a computer. On my desktop PC it does and I can map shares. I have tried many ways of connecting to it:
Connecting to it through the browser works, both by name and ip
typed in the name and the IP directly into Windows Explorer. //server/share and //192.161.1.x/share
tried to map the drive using the name and IP. Same format above
searched online for a solution with no luck.
tested both lan and wireless on both of my acces points
verified that file discovery is turned on and network is set to public
re installed network drivers
After trying those fixes I rebooted with no luck.
