Hi,
I am having the exact same problem with my Drivestation HD-CE500LU2-EU.
I have it on the lan with four workstations. Three of them are working perfectly, the other installs fine, but the icon on the desktop does not work.
I can ping the drive and access its settings via a webbrowser on the workstation that isnt working, but when I try accessing the drive via \\ipaddress or desktop icon it fails as the previous poster.
I tried changing the windows locator but it too does not stick when the settings are applied.
All four machines are running vista.
I tried starting the RPC service and this didnt help with retaining the windows locator setting.
Any ideas?
