Note the Tablet Network Name - example 'bronco' On playbook look under settings/Storage and Sharing/Network Identification/Properties. Here's what to do - for now untic the two options then disconnect your playbook. For whatever reason, this often DOES NOT WORK. If the first option is ticked then the playbook should automatically map as a drive.

There is an options tab in the device manager window, click on 'options' and you will see the selections to 'Mount volumes on connect' and 'Launch File Explorer on volume mount'. If you can see this you are minutes away from connecting. This will show you time connected and the IPV4 network address. Wait a bit and eventually the playbook will show up and then expand out (plus sign) the information found under the playbook. Dbl cllic the Blackberry device manager icon when you first connect the playbook and you will get a window - Device Manager Properties. You indicated device manager sees the playbook and identifies the PIN.
