Hi Julio,

SharePort only works at USB 1.1 speeds and you’re getting the correct speeds for that. I wouldn’t recommend hard drive usage with it as there have been a few people talk about losing data when the software/connection decides to act up.

I just upgraded to the latest firmware…

Firmware Version : 1.31NA, 2009/04/24

Besides the Web Environment not working in Opera, the speeds for the SharePort with a USB2.0 HDD are really slow… I get from 800KB/s to 2MB/s… while I think USB2.0 directly connected should be around 30MB/s.

I imagine It would require the NTFS security to lock the files, using FAT probably isn’t a good workaround though (lack of security, 4GB file limit etc).

Did you do an upgrade from a previous version, or is it a fresh install?

BTW, I have noticed this does not happen on partitions formatted with FAT. It only occurs on NTFS volumes.

Disabling the Application Identity service alone did not fix the problem for me I am running RC1.

I have heard of the Application Identity service causing this problem before, personally I’m not sure why it would be doing this as it’s description doesn’t say anything about locking any files, unless it’s caused by a bug somewhere.

Sorry hit return too quick. I think it has to do with the applocker. I dunno if you guys have figured this out yet but I have had Win7 RC for about 4 days now and was restoring backups from XP and have been having the same problem. I went through the services list and turned off the ones I wasn’t using, tried turning off Application Identity and disabled it and i haven’t had any issues since.

I would try turning off the Application Identity service. That seems to work for me

Hey…

Anyone know if the usb utility can be used when the router is configured static as an access point? I ask because I have had no luck in doing so. ‘-’

Thanks in advance for any help.
