How to place the mybook in my network

Hi there,
I've got a mybook world edition (500gb) and ive been using it with mionet quite some time now.
Until now there was no problem but since yesterday i've created a new network in which i want to place it.
Im using a linksys router (wrt54g) and windows xp in a network with 1 desktop and 1 laptop.

I've deleted the mionet software and tried looking for the mybook in my local network.
Finding it was no problem (using the mybook web interface) but i now have to folders which i can access in the mybook.

ID885274 & public.
The Public folder is empty and if i use the admin password and try to enter ID885274 it says that im not allowed!
How can i get in to this folder and what's in it? (im hoping my data which ive stored otherwise i cant find it anymore!).

There must be something on the mybook cause the webinterface tells my that im using 17% of the space!

Please tell me how to recover the data :)

I am having the exact same problem as you and cannot figure it out for the life of me.

After moving my WBEII to a new network, I can only see the \public and \ID folder, but not the data that I copied to the drive.

Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

I've never used the MioNet software, but from what you describe, this sounds like a simply permissions issue.
Suggest you go to /shares/internal and perform an ls -l
I suspect you will see that the IDxxxxxx directory will have some funny user id number or group.

if so, creating a new user, and then give that new user the same user id and group as the IDxxxxx directory has.

Hopefully that will allow you into the directory.

if that does work, and you see your files, then you can just do a chown and chgrp on the direcory back to the root user

- hope that make sense/helps.

-just read my own post, and dont' think I was very clear. Just login in as root, and do the ls -l.
try to cd into the IDxxxx directory. if you can't try to change the permission on the directory and try again.
I suspect all your files are in the id directory, and it;s just the directory and file permission that are keeping you
out at the moment.

if you are not very tech savy, try the following instead:
Open up the MyBook web interface, go to the File Sharing tab, then select Update Security Settings.
See if the IDxxxxx directory is on the drop down tab. If so , select it, and then change the permission via the
gui
