Got my Dockstar a couple weeks back.  Already owning a pogoplug, installation and registration went very smoothly.  Windows Drive showed the two new drives attached to the Dockstar without any provocation.

I went in to setting and set both drives to Active then Read/Write

I changed the work group to match the other computers in my network

The drives never showed up in any computers network neighborhood.

I played around with settings on a couple of the laptops, disabled the firewalls and more, but still no luck.

The next day, magically, both drives showed up in both computers network neighborhoods and I could browse files without a hitch.

Fast forward to today and the drives are gone from network neighborhood.  I can still view them via my.pogoplug.com and the settings haven't changed.

I can ping the Dockstar from both laptops. 

One other "clue", on a third, one that I never looked to see if it could see the drives, it shows up in Network Neighborhood but I can't see the drives (don't have permission or path not found or something like that).

Thoughts?

try removing the drives (unmount via web interface) and reset the device with the drives attached.

Thanks, I tried that without success, then eventually I rebooted the Dockstar and the devices showed up.

As small, very efficient Linux servers, these guys are nice. As appliances, like they want to be, not so much. I can't remember the last time I had to power off/on my toaster to get it to work correctly. ;)
