External 'shared' drive (WD MyBookWorld) - IP address has changed and I cannot access it, or delete the old definition and re-enter it. How do I delete or edit the definition of 'Shared' computers/drives?
I have for some time used a WD MyBookWorld external hard drive and 'connected' TimeMachine to it. This process created two 'Shared' computers visible in Finder. MyBookWorld and MyBookWorld-Backup. Time Machine connected to the one called MyBookWorld-Backup.
However, then the MyBookWorld acquired a new IP address (long story, it wasn't static). Time Machine stopped working - didn't give any useful prompts by the way, noticed by accident that it hadn't backed up for a month.
So, ideally I would just like the definition of MyBookWorld 'shared' computer/drive to be updated with the new IP address. However, I can't find out how to do this.
- I can't delete or modify the entries via Finder (or anywhere else) of the 'Shared' computers/drives.
- I CAN connect to the WD MyBookWorld via Finder/Go/Connect to Server and see the file hierarchy that Windows machines are using in their backups ⚠.
- Time Machine ONLY sees the existing MyBookWorld on MyBookWorld-Backup definition, but this fails to connect - error says that the devices doesn't exist or has an incorrect IP address.
So I'm stuck. Any one help? I can't help feeling that I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance.
