Hi Robert,

my issue was that I wasn´t seeing the harddisk on the ´my computer´ window. So I couldn´t connect to my media through DTM, nor was I seeing the PB as a harddisk.

Anyway, for everybody following my issues.... I´m contacted BB in Canada and it ended up being the TCP/IP Netbios helper. If you look for ´services´ on the search option by the Start menu of windows (just type Services, do not press enter). Then double click on the services (with a cockwheel icon) and go down to the TCP/IP Netbios helper.... right click it and choose START!

This solved it for me as it ws stopped and through msconfig I could not get it started.....

Thank all, problem solved.

The problem may be in Windows Services. Like a previous post said, TCP/IP NetBios Helper needs to be turned on. Check if it isn't disabled, or simply didn't turn on when set to manual. If you're like me and tried to tweak your Windows Services to streamline your computer performance, you may have unwittingly Disabled or set to Manual services that are needed to access the playbook hard drive. The solution that worked for me was simply to restore the default settings in Services. (I had to go online to find out what the default settings were. Not that hard to find.) If you don't know how to manipulate the Services settings in Windows then this might not necessarily be the issue with your computer since you likely didn't change anything there yourself. But in case you did and forgot how to do it, On a Windows 7 computer click Start icon > right click Computer > click Manage from drop down menu > expand Services and Applications > click Services....and voila. Right click on each and select Properties. This will allow you to modify each setting.

I would just like to say THANK YOU!!! I had just purchased my tablet and I've been having nothing but problems trying to sync with my Elitebook. I spent 3.5 hours on the phone with tech support and not once did they suggest this. I was on hold with tech support and read your post, quickly did what you said and wouldn't you know it, it worked. 3.5 hours and 3 tech supporters couldn't help me. I really thank you!!
