Hi,
I wonder if you could possibly help me as i am really struggling here:
Got my first ever Mac on Thursday, an new Max spec Imac.
I have a Vista PC connected wirelessly to a Belkin N1 router, which connects out through Virgin internet and also has a WD MyBook World Edition 1TB NAS attached.
I first added my Imac to the Belkin (wirelessly), connected fine and accessed the Internet fine, also connected to the WD drive, which was great so i could migrate some data.
I plan to keep both PC and Mac, at least for a while.
Then yesterday i decided that i would add a timecapsule as my data is very important to me.
So i disconnected the Belkin totally. Connected the TC up to the internet (worked fine), connected the Imac up (wirelessly) worked fine. copied some data to test - worked fine. Then hooked the imac up with a cable to the TC and run a Timemachine backup, worked fine (took some hours, but not too bad). Then i added the WD drive to the TC again the Imac accesses it fine.
OK so now the PC, this found the 'Apple' network fine, and connected first time and fast. Worked straight away with the internet.
Then installed the Apple software (Bonjouir) and then the PC could access the timemachine HD.
BUT.....
I CANNOT ACCESS the WD MYBook WorldEdition at all from my PC! (I could before when it was connected to the Belkin).
I CANNOT ACCESS the IMac from my PC.
I CANNOT ACCESS the PC from my IMac.
Oh and one other weird point i can access my PC using remote desktop from the IMac!
Any advice or tips would REALLY be appreciated, I have tried loads of things and am getting nowhere. I really do not want to reconnect the Belkin as it uses 100Mbps ports (unlike the TC's 1000Mbps ports).
Please Help and thanks for reading this rather large post!
