Thanks Neil
This was something I was not experienced with.
The drive is connected at this point in time, even after shutting
down the computer & restarting. But I looked at what you said and
can see that it would be the way to go if I needed it.
I guess what is confusing me is that even though it is connected,
its icon is not appearing on the desktop.
Did you look at Finder preferences to confirm you have a tick in the
appropriate box ????

With one of my Mac clients, their server's icon appears on the
desktop when connected. Mine is not strictly speaking a server,
though, just a shared device.

Hi Alex,
From your post, I gather that this is an ethernet network drive.
I've never used one of these - so this is only an idea/guess!
I would have thought that a network device was, in effect, a file
server -
so can you just connect to it (mount it?) using the finder - Go -
"Connect
to server" menu command?
If it hasn't shown up anyway in your network, then "browse"
possibly won't
see it so put in the server (drive) ethernet address and hit
"connect".
Cheers
Neil

Thank you Daniel - I did try connecting the WD HD directly to the
Macbook Pro but it did not seem to mount (I was doing it with an
ethernet cable). I have trouble in this regard with both computers
intermittently where it does not appear sometimes. The last time on
the Macbook Pro I was only able to connect by going through the
Apple/
Recent Items path! I'm sure that is not the way it is supposed to
be. Shall try this again, though.
Cheers, Alex
