I want to auto sync files between wd my book world and two pcs on home network (one xp, one vista) so that I can always access files even when offline from either laptop. Any ideas? WD have indicated product is not compatible with Windows sync for Vista.

It should not really need drivers in Win2K or Vista, you might have a problem with your USB drivers. Go into device manager, remove any devices under the USB heading and reboot. All the drivers should reinstall and hopefully your MyBook will come alive again. Otherwise, try the MyBook on a friend's computer, if it doesn't work there then the MyBook may be faulty itself.

Mionet is the software for the WD HD that runs on your router. I changed router and installed a "new World book". Works now.

Is your drive warm/hot like mine was/is ?
Mine dropped offline 2 or 3 times a week.
Put a small fan blowing on it.... been up for two weeks now.

log in from administrator see if your anti virus's or your windows fire wall is not interrupting if not solved go to run in the start menu type command "chkdsk" "netuser administrator (the password you want to give)"
