USB Ext HDD showing up in Computer on a different machine ?
The weirdest thing is happening when I connected an Ext. HDD to one of our machines; I happened to be on another machine and noticed an extra drive showing in "Computer", NOT Network, but Computer.
It is displaying the correct permanent name of the Ext. HDD and I can view and access everything with full control, just as if the drive were USB-connected directly to the machine.
I did not think such behavior was even possible.
I don't see this as a problem, but I am curious as to how it is happening.
I checked all our other LAN-connected machines and it is not showing on any of them.
Even more curious is the fact that this particular drive has never been directly connected to that machine.
I wish I knew how to replicate this on the rest of our machines with all of our other Ext. HDDs; it would sure come in handy.
