Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / July 2006western digital netcenter
I have a Western Digital Netcenter external network drive. Under Vista I can see some of the files stored there but not all of them. On other non-Vista PC's all the files stored on this drive are viewable. Any ideas on how I can see all the files on this drive from my Vista computer??? Hello, This is probably caused by a bug in Samba related to improperly handling fast queries, which Windows Vista now uses. You will need to get a firmware upgrade from the manufacturer that upgrades samba to at least 3.0.22. - JB The Western Digital website has the firmware update version 1.1.0.0003 as their latest, this did not help after updating. How would Samba fix this and where can I get firmware for it? Apparently WD doesnt have it. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > - JB Samba is most likely the software application on your netcenter that is responsible for file sharing. The problem is that older versions of Samba do not talk to Vista correctly; Vista will only be able to see a portion of the files that the netcenter contains. Unfortunately, the only way to get an updated version of Samba is thru a firmware upgrade. If you e-mail WD and tell them that you are beta testing Vista, and that your netcenter will not work correctly unless it has at least Samba 3.0.22, perhaps they can give you more information. - JB Contacted support from western digital.... got the canned response.... only support Windows.......blah blah blah. I will start to look around for another product which will support Vista then sell the netcenter on ebay. > Samba is most likely the software application on your netcenter that is > responsible for file sharing.
