Hi, Is it able to connect with wire? Please try to temporarily disable the third party security programs and boot in Clean Boot to check. Is it able to ping the IP address of that external hard drive? Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both computers ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Go to “Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections”. 2) Right-Click on the connection and click Properties. 3) Find Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Version 4 in the list. 4) Click Properties, and then click Advanced. 5) On the Advanced TCP/IP settings windows, go to “WINS” tab. 6) Under NetBIOS setting, click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and then click OK.
