    Unable to access NAS (WD Mycloud)


    I recently acquired and installed a WD Mycloud for the purpose of backing up all my computers, including my company's notebook. I cannot get the company notebook (Win 10 Enterprise) to see the Mycloud device. It does see all the other devices on my home network. All my other Win 10 and Win 7 machines have no problem using the Mycloud.
    Things I have tried:


    None of this works. Now, I have at time seen the Mycloud on the network, which seemed to be related to enabling sharing and network discovery. However, even when I could see it, I still couldn't access it.

    Any other ideas?

    The SMB was already checked, so I turned it off and back on. No difference. I would also note that I am able to ping the device, and every other machine on my network can access the Mycloud.

    Talk to your company. Most likely they have made GPO changes to not allow backing up. This is normal for a company to not allow, because of company/client information contained on the computer.

    That makes sense, thanks. The reason I want to back it up myself is because I no longer connect to the corporate network.

    Normally Corperate windows has to be activated every 128 days or so if your not connecting to the netwrok it will become unactivated

    Not a problem; they know it's stand alone.

    Just to inform, if you access from external which mean access outside of your office, usually ISP will block SMB port for safety purpose.

    I have administrator privileges for the machine. What I don't understand is why all devices on my home network are accessible but this one.

    Incorrect. The person is trying to use the Laptop away from the office, along with the fact that there are no ISP's out there that will block the SMB ports.
