"Great Product - Software Interface is Crap!"
Pros: The NAS MyBook World Edition II is an awesome 1 TeraByte!
Cons: MioNet is total crap, unfortunately WD doesn't tell you that you don't even need it to access your drive!
Summary: Also, if you check your network activity you may find (as I did) that the drive is contacting some IP address in France about every 15 to 30 minutes. Nothing is being sent but is this really necessary? The IP address is 87.98.219.90. My firewall logged the activity, Ethereal captured the content, which as I said was nothing. Further digging into the IP address suggests that it may have connections to MioNet.. maybe. I have done nothing further but I plan to call WD and ask them *** is this for. I love the drive, works flawlessly IF you avoid MioNET. -Si

I'm stumped with it, it's installed but the connection says i have limited or no connectivity and when i use mionet it says the hard drive is offline. the hard drive doesn't even come up as a letter in my computer. any suggestions? and i would really love to keep it simple and not use mionet at all as it's pissing me off already, pardon my language. thanks for your time.
