Can’t access PUBLIC folder on MyBook WD II

Can’t access PUBLIC folder on MyBook WD II

Hi guys.
I have a problem. Suddenly I do not have access to PUBLIC folder on my MyBook WD II.
It says that \\Hjem\public is not accessible.

I have tried to access the NAS server from another computer
I have tried to reset the NAS server
I have tried to reset my router (Dlink dir-615)
I have tried to take ownship over the folder
Nothing has helped me so far.

The weird part is that I can create another folder on the NAS server, and this new folder works fine. When I right click the folder, I have a Security tab, but I do not have it on the PUBLIC folder.
In the web-backend of the NAS server, the PUBLIC folder is set to Full Access to Everyone.

The same problem is when I want to applied your firmware to get SSH access. When I follow the steps in "MBWE-Get-In-test", then I should see a log file here \\<Mybook>\PUBLIC\MBWE-Get-In-test.log - but I don't have access to the PUBLIC folder.

Any hints on how to fix this problem?

I solved it.

The problem was that Mionet locked the folder, even I haven't used Mionet for more than 2 years (WTF?!?)

Well, I install Mionet -> removed all shares -> added the MBWE to Mionet. Then the Security tab came back, and I modifyied the access to all.

Problem solved.

Hi,

I know itś a long time, but i run in exactly the same problem. I inherited WD Mybook Blue rings, i did fresh install using tutorial on this web and everything went jist fine. Then I upgraded firmware using web interface and since that I cannot access PUBLIC share. So no ssh install, no other mods. I tried to remove the disk, connect it to PC and set ownership, but with no luck so far. Trick posted above is of no use for me, never tried mionet at all. I dont understand what happend. Can anybody help me please? Rob

I experience similar issue. Start with a My Book Blue Rings wo hard drive, performed successfull recovery on a blank Western Digital 320GB drive to version 1.01.18. Tested for one day accessing PUBLIC share without problem. Created 2 additional users and their share. Then went for update: set security to none for ALL shares and ALL users and disable WD Anywhere Access as stated in the notice before frimware update. After 30' firmware update completed. Now 2.00.18. Configured security again for all shares and users. But left WD Anywhere Access in Unregisterd state. (I want to use the MBWE blue rings (singe drive) only on home network and do not need access from the internet). The web interface works fine. As a next step I will delete all additional users and their shares, recreate them and test. DO I HAVE TO REGISTER THE MBWE to enable access? I realize that by now there are A LOT of MBWE using the same MAC address as the one from which the rescue images were taken, and that this COULD impact registration, which re-registration might be required after Firmware update. All advices are welcome!
