USB connection to smart hub 2

[MB59]

I have an external hard drive connected to the USB port on the hub which has worked fine.  Unfortunately the drive has packed up and I've had to replace it.  When I have put another drive in and tried to access it in windows explorer there is nothing there.  It appears as connected on the BT summary page.  I have tried to map it using \\192.168.0.1 but it comes back with an address not recognised message.  I have tried both a powered drive and an unpowered one but it makes no difference.  Any suggestions?

@MB59 Use this

\\192.168.1.254\usb1

Hi thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work.  When I tried to map the drive windows returned the following message;

the remote device or resource won't accept the connection

It is a very long time since I have done this, but don't you have to create a folder on the drive, (whilst it is plugged in to a PC), and then make that folder "Shared" in Properties for it to work?
