D-Link DIR-655 Router e SharePoint / SharePort
Atualização 2 de novembro de 2009: Todos os usuários tendo problemas com SharePort, confira esse post para as últimas informações.
Update: Certifique-se de ler os comentários abaixo para encontrar nada de novo sobre esse recurso, muitos bugs foram corrigidos desde a versão original, a partir de agosto 2009 Firmware 1.32NA final é o firmware mais recente, leia sobre ele e faça o download aqui.
Já tive um D-Link DIR-655 roteador para o ano passado e é de longe o melhor roteador que eu já usei, apesar de eu ter pago 150 dólares a mais do que eu paguei por um roteador antes, assim que eu comecei o que eu pago.
Começando com a versão 1.21 Beta 04 da DIR-655 firmware existe agora SharePoint functonality disponíveis. SharePoint como a mídia e outros sites parcialmente chamá-lo ou SharePort como é chamado em toda parte, incluindo o software em si é uma maneira de produtos D-Link para compartilhar um dispositivo USB através da LAN, eu vou tentar não confundir qualquer ainda assim, vou me referir a ele somente como SharePort partir de agora.
SharePort é uma característica interessante que eu realmente queria ser capaz de fazer há alguns anos, através da partilha de dispositivos USB de um computador para que possam ser utilizados em outro PC como se o aparelho era realmente ligado ao seu PC. D-Link, finalmente, esta tecnologia trouxe para a vida de uma forma limitada com SharePort.
Isto é como SharePort obras, vou usar o meu DIR-655 eo Brother DCP-150C MFC como um exemplo.
O DIR-655 tem uma porta USB na parte traseira, os testes parecem indicar que é uma porta USB 1.1, até agora, o porto era utilizado para configurações sem fio que pode ser armazenado em uma chave USB.
Depois de instalar o novo firmware no entanto, a porta USB tem encontrado uso mais, somos recebidos com um novo menu em Configuração que controla o uso do porto.
Como você pode ver não há muito para a instalação desta porta USB, WCN de configuração é o padrão, é usado para a chave de configuração sem fio, selecione a caixa suspensa:
Escolhendo Rede USB coloca o roteador em modo SharePort, escolhendo 3G USB Adapter é um bocado de um mistério para mim, eu não tenho certeza do que os dispositivos são compatíveis com este ainda, porém como a maioria das pessoas, eu tenho um serviço 3G e usá-lo como um backup de apenas conectar o dispositivo até à porta USB e escolha Adaptador USB 3G seria muito útil.
Depois de ter escolhido o dispositivo de rede USB é automaticamente compartilhada, no entanto, a fim de conectar você deve instalar o software SharePort da D-Link, esta ainda em versão beta, parece assim use com cuidado etc etc, eu não tive um problema com ainda e parece bastante polido. uma vez que é instalado, certifique-se que ele seja executado na inicialização e executá-lo imediatamente, caso contrário você não será capaz de usar o dispositivo manualmente, sem executar o software SharePort cada vez, ele utiliza apenas 2 MB de memória RAM por isso não é um recurso porco.
Se o dispositivo USB está ligado e conectado, em seguida, o utilitário SharePort deve mostrar como este uma vez que você clica duas vezes no ícone na bandeja do sistema. Será então que você execute através de um assistente para instalar o dispositivo, você vai precisar do seu aparelho de CD do driver ou o driver mais recente para o seu site, no final você será perguntado se você quiser ligar automaticamente ao dispositivo quando você imprimir se É uma impressora, esta é uma boa idéia caso contrário, você deve escolher manualmente para se conectar.
Uma vez que tudo é criado em cada computador que utiliza o dispositivo, você vai notar que cada dispositivo afirma que a impressora está em pausa e off-line, imprimir para a impressora de qualquer maneira, o software detecta SharePort que uma impressão foi enviado para a impressora e atribui automaticamente a impressora ao computador e enquanto a impressora está comunicando com o PC ele aparecerá como conectado, uma vez que o trabalho de impressão tiver sido concluído, ele será então retornar ao offline, fez uma pausa.
A limitação deste recurso é que ele só irá funcionar em um PC de cada vez, os dispositivos USB simplesmente não estão destinadas a ser ligado a 2 computadores de uma vez por isso faz sentido porque este é o caso.
Eu não tentei coisas como webcams porém eles têm sido conhecida a trabalho, porém num ritmo mais lento do que o normal, o recurso de scanner de minha impressora funciona bem, porém você deve manualmente conectar usando o software SharePort usá-lo, certifique-se de desconectar Depois que você está feito.
Como afirmei no início deste artigo, o software SharePort é algo que eu estava esperando há muito tempo a favor, é um ótimo recurso considerando-se o meu router não é o mais lá fora, e agora quase parecia D-Link tinha desistido de adição de novos recursos para ele, ele também mostra o quão bem o dispositivo pode funcionar se pode lidar com um dispositivo USB enquanto ele está executando todas as tarefas é outro.

Acabei de atualizar o firmware do meu DIR 655 a 1,21. Quando comecei a instalar o aplicativo Utilitário SharePort que caiu a minha computadores desktop e laptop ambos são o Windows Vista Home Premium.

Bem, eu ainda estou correndo 1.21 Beta 04, pode haver algo com 1,21 final, também pode ser uma boa idéia para re-utilidade o download de ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Apps/SharePort_Network_USB_Utility_094. zip e, eventualmente, re-flash o roteador com ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Firmware/dir655_firmware_121.zip OU ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Firmware/dir655_firmware_121_no_securespot.zip o no_securespot arquivo tem uma data mais recente sobre ele do que o firmware 1,21 padrão. Que tipo de software você tem atualmente em execução em ambos os computadores? Experimente desligar etc antivírus tanto para instalar este.

Eu estou realmente tentando chegar ao fundo de um problema semelhante eu estou enfrentando, há alguns dias meu pc parou de detectar quando estava na minha impressora e na maioria das vezes também não detecta quando o roteador foi conectado.
Eu reinstalei ele, reiniciado o roteador e não muda, mesmo quando todos os outros PC funciona perfeitamente.
Possível solução: Na verdade eu tenho apenas corrigiu o problema, parece que não consegue reconhecer os dispositivos quando você tiver mais de uma placa de rede habilitada, por isso, se você está rodando o VMware etc você terá que desativar as outras conexões de rede e reinicie o computador antes de vai começar detectando novamente. Se você é capaz de fazê-lo funcionar também a partir deste me avise.

Oi!
Aparentemente, isso só funciona na versão E.U. do 655. Tenho piscou o firmware para a versão mais recente da UE e não há tela como descrito acima.
Só queria deixar claro que este é apenas para usuários E.U.. Todos os outros, não seja enganado em pensar o router de rede outra coisa senão acesso à web.

Ben-Thanks for this great tutorial - usando suas instruções, fui capaz de atualizar o firmware, instalar o utilitário de cópia e impressão usando o meu roteador laptop conectado! Apenas uma palavra de agradecimento.
Como um FYI, eu usei o D-Link verificação de software do roteador "própria para atualizações de firmware" característica, e automaticamente recomenda versão 1.21 (datado de 10/9/2008). Agora eu estou imprimindo-Hunky Dory em um computador baseado em laptop (Compaq), e um XP / Home-based desktop (Compaq). Ainda tenho outro laptop Dell para se conectar. Impressora é uma HP Deskjet F4180 All-In-One. Tive que instalar o SharePoint eo driver de impressora HP no laptop, mas que não era grande coisa.
Uma diferença que tenho notado do que você disse: Eu não tenho que ligar para a impressora cada vez que eu usá-lo. Uma vez que estou conectado, ele permanece conectado a menos que eu optar por "libertação" dele. Se um dos PC é ligado, e você quiser imprimir a partir de uma diferente, que vai oferecer a opção de "pedir um release" da máquina que está conectada. Então, a máquina que está conectado recebe uma mensagem pop-up pedindo-lhe para desligar assim que um outro usuário pode usar a impressora. A barra de status também mostra o nome do computador de qualquer máquina que está actualmente ligado activamente para a impressora. Talvez seja esta uma outra atualização de firmware que foi incluída na liberação de 10/9/08?
Como um FYI, eu sou um usuário E.U..

Obrigado pelo seu comentário Lisa, estou feliz que você gostou de minhas instruções.
Eu nunca realmente vem através deste, todos os meus computadores são configurados para auto-conectar-se assim que são apenas ligado à impressora no segundo curta poucos que o trabalho de impressão é enviado, então ele desliga novamente, eu suponho que seria parte de mine too porém eu não encontrei, por não tê-lo de qualquer PC conectado a um tempo suficiente para que outro pedido para a utilização do mesmo.

Há definitivamente ver com questões 1,2 e 1,21 versões do DIR-655 firmware.
O mapeamento de servidores virtuais não funciona corretamente para pacotes de saída. Eu corro um servidor de correio que começou a funcionar de forma intermitente sobre estas duas rotações de firmware. Revertendo para 1,11 resolveu o problema. Conexões à porta 25 (SMTP) seria rota para o servidor apropriado interno na minha rede, mas parece que os servidores resp nem sempre foi voltar para o servidor conectando distante. Isso deixa as rotinas de espera para a comunicação SMTP adicional que vem e nunca expira. Às vezes o servidor de transmissão vai desistir e-mail está perdido.
Além disso, os horários não pode ser configurado corretamente .. o firmware incorretamente vezes bandeiras como inválidos ou seja: 11-5 é inválido e 1.2x em 1,11 ok.

@ Jun qualquer um (e mais) ... eu também correu para a "instalação SharePort" caiu a minha questão de sistemas. (ambos v ,94 e 1,0 releases)
O DIR-655 foi em grande atualização do firmware correu bem. Router / wireless rasga rapidamente.
Fui para instalar o software SharePort e ele caiu meu XP SP3 e sistemas Vista Home Premium horrivelmente mal. Era capaz de ir buscá-los através de restauração do sistema, mas não foi bem por um tempo.
Eu estou suspeitando de um conflito com o AVG Free 8, que é um pedaço de software comum a todos os meus sistemas.
Qualquer pessoa pode, eventualmente, confirmar uma SharePort / AVG Free 8 conflito de driver que pode ter deixado de funcionar seus sistemas durante / após a instalação SharePort?

Bem, eu tenho o mesmo problema de junho Versão Sharepoint 1,0 crashes my laptops durante a instalação e desinstalação. Tenho firmware 1.21, mas eu não acho que o que importa, porque eu não posso instalar o software sem bater. Chamado de suporte Dlink e eles dizem que o SharePoint ea porta USB não são suportadas na DIR-655.
Poderá procurar um produto alternativo que pode apoiar adequadamente uma unidade de disco rígido. Any recommendations? Eu poderia tentar o Apple Airport extreeme agora que é Gigabit e Dual Mode capaz.

Eu estou quase certo no meu caso, há um conflito entre o driver driver SharePort e algo mais. Estou fortemente inclinado a favor de que seja algum tipo de proteção do sistema (HIPS?) Funcionalidade do AVG Free 8, no meu caso.
No teste de sistemas de cama, eu posso instalar SharePort apenas multa (v.94 ou v1.0). No entanto, se primeiro eu tenho o AVG Free 8 instaladas as máquinas de tela azul durante o final do processo de instalação ... quer quando um driver ou serviço de tentativas para ser instalado. Curiosamente, em um sistema "real" que tanques durante a instalação, em um sistema virtual, só tanques durante a desinstalação de SharePort com o AVG Free 8.
No entanto, (sobre os sistemas virtuais) se eu primeiro desinstalar o AVG Free 8 reiniciar, instalar SharePort, reiniciar, em seguida, instalar o AVG Free 8, tudo parece feliz.
Eu preciso fazer um pouco mais assuntos antes de me mudar para o meu "ao vivo" de sistemas. Foi muito divertido fazer uma restauração do sistema em dois dos meus três sistemas neste fim de semana.
Eu não acho que isso é uma questão router-hardware/firmware tão bem como eu posso dizer. My DIR-655 rasgando-se rápido e sólido. Eu fiz a atualização de firmware 1.21, que permite esse recurso SharePort novo, mas eu não vejo como o firmware do router está impactando os sistemas. Estou convencido de que é com o software SharePort si e, especificamente, um driver ou conflito de serviço na inicialização da instalação. Eu apenas tenho que fixar para baixo o ponto de conflito.
E sim ... eu passei mais de 30 minutos no telefone com o suporte Dlink noite passada e foi ao lado de nada. Eu comecei finalmente a tecnologia pobres a escalar minhas descobertas para um supervisor e talvez ele irá torná-lo para um centro técnico da Dlink.
De acordo com esse cara, não existem novas "back-room" versões disponíveis para SharePort neste momento.
Será que você saiba que eu descobrir.
Caso contrário, eu tenho sido muito feliz com o DIR-655 dispositivo global. Pena que o recurso SharePort foi um dos fatores decisivos para ir com este modelo.
Suspiro ....

Isso é trabalho bom lá assuntos Claus, seria um problema de software SharePort com certeza, talvez o AVG não está jogando bonito seja, eles não têm exatamente conseguiu o melhor registo recentemente a respeito de problemas com outros softwares. Vou ver se consigo descobrir alguma coisa amanhã sobre o AVG / SharePort, tenho certeza de uma das empresas sabe alguma coisa.
Eu não esperaria D-Link para actualizar o software por um tempo, mas eu acho que só sei que, com certeza.
Esperemos que se número suficiente de pessoas têm o problema que eles vão consertá-lo em breve, o próprio software tem de trabalhar com todo o hardware SharePort capazes e há muito poucos dos que lá fora agora.
Pela maneira eu ter mudado o seu nome no comentário acima SteveW assim que a conversa pode ser entendida corretamente, deixe-me saber se houver defeitos com o sistema de comentários, é o meu código para que ele tenha a possibilidade de erros.

Tente desativar quaisquer outras placas de rede e reiniciar, mesmo a placa ethernet, SharePort se confunde facilmente por várias ligações de rede, se estiver em execução VMWare tente desabilitar as placas de rede VMNet.
Também desative temporariamente qualquer firewall que possa ter sobre o laptop em apenas um caso está bloqueando a conexão.

Hi guys. Ainda testando o problema.
Eu já tinha suspeitado AVG 8 para este fim de semana eu encontrei algum tempo livre. Decidi colocar a minha teoria para o teste no meu Vista Home Prem. Sistema SP1.
I uninstalled AVG 8, fez um ponto de restauro manual (coisa boa eu fiz) reinicializado, so far so good. Então eu instalei SharePort.
BSOD.
Restauração do sistema usando o meu ponto de salvar-restaurado meu sistema. Agora eu estava de volta à estaca zero.
Mudou-se para uma sessão de PC novo virtual usando uma instalação do XP SP2 intocada. Instalado SharePort apenas multa. Não há nenhum problema. Desinstalado-lo muito bem.
Próximo suspeito que eu tinha era NetLimiter Monitor, que também é comum em todos os meus três sistemas.
NetLimiter Monitor instalado e reiniciado. Bom. Não existem problemas de estabilidade.
Fui para instalar SharePort (v1.0) e perto do final da instalação ... como meus sistemas real ... o sistema virtual foi uma tela preta imediato reinício.
Hmmmm.
So I have uninstalled NetLimiter Monitor do meu sistema e colocar em uma consulta de e-mail para sua equipe de suporte perguntando se pode olhar para isso de forma independente.
Vendo como ela aparece tanto SharePort e NetLimiter Monitor ambos parecem ligar para os controladores de rede do Windows / Serviços isso faz sentido muito bem.
Vai dar uma outra atualização, se / quando eles respondem.
Não tenho certeza se eu sou corajoso o suficiente apenas ainda repetir a experiência no meu sistemas de viver novamente.

Sim, isto vai permitir o acesso à impressora a qualquer momento o Router está ligado, a impressora e roteador são as únicas 2 coisas que precisam de estar ligado para que isso funcione, no entanto, que é, desde que não via através da área de trabalho em qualquer fase. Como se pode ver pelos comentários você deve exercitar um pouco de cuidado ao instalar o software SharePort como ele não jogar bem com outros softwares que tem componentes de rede.

Ben,
Só para confirmar o que eu suspeitava e Nick confirmou ... o Net Limiter 2 programa Monitor não criticamente em conflito com a aplicação SharePort (neste momento).
Eu tinha desinstalado ele do meu XP Home (SP3) e Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1) sistemas. Então eu SharePort reinstalado depois de criar pontos de restauração do sistema (apenas para ser seguro).
Instalação correu bem desta vez e nenhuma BSOD ou conflitos foram observados. A aplicação SharePort rapidamente encontrou o Seagate dispositivo de armazenamento USB flash e eu era capaz de "montar / ligar" para ele e leitura / gravação de arquivos de todos os sistemas.
Para ser claro ... só um sistema pode ser ligado ao dispositivo de uma só vez, tanto quanto eu posso dizer. Outros, que agora funciona muito bem.
Ufa! Esse foi um trabalho que doozie problema para fora. Graças a Nick para enviar uma confirmação.
Eu mandei um e-mail para a equipe de apoio Net Limiter sobre o assunto, mas nenhuma resposta ainda.
Não tenho certeza se ele irá ocorrer com todos os seus programas (pago / gratuito) ou apenas com a Net Limiter 2 Monitor.
Obrigado a todos!
Felicidades!

Oi, eu tenho a minha própria DIR655 para 1 semana. Sua versão de uma UE, mas o firmware E.U. 1,21 executar smothly. SharePort obras, mas não é muito estável.
Primeira questão, a partilha USB unidade de disco durante o WiFi IMHO não é uma boa idéia. Qualquer problema na rede e Vista tem problemas com o dispositivo. Também é uma questão de desempenho (800kB / s quando 2m / s ao copiar arquivos entre computadores portáteis com adaptadores WiFi n).
Mas eu comprei esse roteador para o compartilhamento da impressora. E é possível, mas SharePort Utility (1,0) trabalha somente na conta do local. Quando se trabalha sobre a conta do Active Directory, a janela popup do utilitário mostra o dispositivo conectado à porta USB do router. Mas ao clicar no ícone da bandeja a janela de aplicativo não é mostrado. A aplicação é na barra de tarefas, mas não tem janela para selecionar o dispositivo e se conectar.
No local conta que tudo está OK. Parece ser a questão SharePort Utility. O sistema operacional foi instalado uma semana atrás, não muitas aplicações instaladas.
Qualquer idéias?

Lembre-se de caras, o router parece estar limitada a velocidade de USB 1.1, ou seja, cerca de 1MB/second por isso não é recomendado a menos que você tenha um dispositivo pequeno e não tem muito a transferência, também roteadores não são os mais rápidos sistemas para a transferência de dados sobre o USB provavelmente coloca muita pressão sobre o dispositivo que possa causar qualquer coisa de velocidades mais lentas e desistentes LAN sem fios para reboots roteador.
Obrigado por todas as suas pesquisas Claus, esperamos que em breve uma das empresas é capaz de corrigir os problemas com compatibilidade.

Há 2 coisas em cima da minha cabeça que tem problemas quando se deslocam de redes, principalmente quando a rede muda é arranjos IP, algum software de firewall, incluindo o Firewall do Windows e geralmente ZoneAlarm pode bloquear um PC de ser "descoberto", como ela acredita que esta nova rede é uma rede pública na internet, em vez de uma LAN privada, se você estiver executando o Windows Vista a mesma coisa pode acontecer, certifique-se de seus PCs têm a sua conexão de rede configurado para casa ou privados, que realmente devem ser as únicas vezes em que esse problema deve ocorrer.
Se eles são sem fio também certificar-se que a partição Wireless está desativada nas propriedades avançadas sem fios como isso irá causar um efeito semelhante.

Vou experimentá-lo e ver se muda alguma coisa com base em questões de pessoas tiveram, em nota, que uma nova emissão, tenho notado surgiu, ocasionalmente depois de ter o router por mais de uma semana o software SharePort em todos os computadores começa dando erros de conexão, se eles ficam por um tempo pode haver centenas na tela, reiniciando o roteador pára os erros por um tempo.

O 1,21 é a mesma que a que foi lançada há alguns meses atrás, apenas com a data alterada, porém cerca de 2 ou 3 versões foram rotulados 1,21 sem uma etiqueta beta, com o último sendo um 1,21 B10 em novembro, por isso, se você baixado 1,21 em outubro ou mais cedo, faça o download e instalá-lo novamente, ele corrige alguns problemas com encaminhamento de porta e as configurações de poupança.

Hi gang,
Grande discussão!
I'm having a shareport problem, and wanted to see if anyone has experienced the same.
here's my setup:
1. DIR-655 with firmware 1.21
2. Win XP Pro machine (as a vmware client) with shareport 1
3. WD external HDD
The HDD is plugged into the USB port on the router, but I'm not able to connect to it from the the Win XP pro machine. The XP machine will continuously notify me that it has “Found” the HDD, but the Shareport tray icon continues to stay red, and never turns green. After about 30 seconds, the notification will come back. I'm completely at a loss, as it workeed in the past when I had this vm client on another host. I know that vmware may be causing this, but I don't see how, because I only have one network adapter enabled on the XP machine (ethernet bridged). I've spent hours trying to get this to work…Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Obrigado,

I have this setup DIR-655 Firmware 1.2.1 and Shareport I got to work if I disable my Microsoft OneCare firewall.
Does anyone know the Port's used by D-Link SharePort?

If you all go to Dlink's website for the router, you will see that it says,
“This firmware is engineered for US products only.
Using this firmware on a device outside of the United States will void your warranty and may render the device unusable.
Please contact the D-Link office in your region for firmware updates that are compatible with your D-Link product.”
and,
“¤ Added SharePort features.
¤ Fixed email notification issue.
Please download the SharePort Utility and see the SharePort manual before use.”
You have to download the actual utility to use it!

Oh, and I almost forgot, this is for x86 version OS's only. x64 is not supported.

Hi James, I'm not sure of the ports myself however if you open up a command prompt and use the command 'netstat' just after attempting to connect using Shareport, look for the router's IP and you should be able to see all ports that the PC is connecting to the router for, OneCare may have a log file that might allow you to do a similar thing, just make sure you're running as little network applications as possible at the time as the lists can get pretty long and do not have any p2p programs running at the time either.
Hi Jody, I have tested version 0.94 and version 1.00 on Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64 and have had no problems, is there an x64 version that doesn't allow this to run?

I just got a D-Link DIR628 which also has the shareport utility. However, I am having some rather strange problem and wonder if anyone can offer some help or suggestions.
On my wife's Vista laptop, the shareport network USB utility installed smoothly and works nicely. On my XP Pro desktop, the first installation hung and when I rebooted, the network USB utility started but couldn't see the devices behind the router. I have been trying different firewall settings (and eventually turned off all firewalls just to try it) the last few days and nothing seemed to really work.
The only thing that seemed to work is if I uninstall the shareport utility, reinstall it, then the first time it got started after reinstall, I could see the devices. If I exit out and restart the utility, it's the same old problem of not seeing any device. Rebooting also has the same problem of not seeing anything. The only way to get it to work so far, seems to be uninstall->reboot->reinstall and it only worked after that sequence.
Anyone has any idea on what this problem might be? When it worked, it worked great. I got 80 Mbps from an external HD which is not great but not too bad either. I could also put both my MFP printer and the HD behind a hub and access both of them. It's really wonderful that way. I just wish I can get it to work on all my computers. By the way, my other system is a Mac and there isn'ta Mac version for that utility.
Sorry for the long mail, any help or suggestion is really appreciated. Obrigado.

I have seen a few instances where the devices can't be found on a pc randomly, however I have not experienced this on a PC every time after it has been installed. Is the PC able to detect the router using the Shareport utility?
Right click on the Shareport icon, in the menu you should see the name of your router and it's IP address, make sure it is selected, if not go to it and a new menu will open up, make sure you click on Enable, also you can click on Configuration to get some advanced settings.
If the router doesn't show up in the list then there may be some connection settings on that PC that are limiting the connection between it and the router.
I'm also waiting on a Mac version of the software, though I think it might not happen any time soon.

Anybody use a USB hub on the shareport and get more than 1 device to work?
Date: January 8, 2009
Time: 5:21 am
Ben – thanks for the response. The PC that I am problem with is directly connected to the route through a wired connection using a CAT5 cable. It is the primary system that I use to set up and configure the router. When I had the problem, the top line in the right-click screen of the shareport icon, the one showing the IP addresses and things was not visible. I only got things from the “Advanced Options” down.
Mike – I did put a USB hub in and connected a Canon MP470 printer and a external HD at the same time. I was able to see both of them and were able to connect to them from my Vista laptop.I didn't try to read/write to the HD and print at the same time though.
By the way, I made a typo earlier. I think I was only getting 8 Mbps, not 80. So roughtly 1 MB/sec read throughput is what I was getting. Not very fast but good enough to move small amount of data.

I'm having the same trouble: Have a Dlink655 with a wired connection to a Vista Home Premium laptop and an older desktop box running Win XP.
Shareport works just fine on the laptop – I want to use it for a shared printer.
I can install shareport fine on the XP machine, but it doesn't find any devices connected… and I also don't see the router's IP address upon right-click. I disabled firewalls, uninstalled antivirus software etc. but to no avail.
Would love some hints if anyone has them!

Mike – you said you “went into admin, clicked on ADVANCED, then WISH on the left, then I made sure it was ENABLED and for PRIORITY CLASSIFIERS I clicked AUTOMATIC…”
I assume you are talking about the web administration page for the Dlink655 router? What is the “WISH” thing you talked about? I have a Dlink628 and I didn't see anything that looks like “WISH” in the advanced menu. I was wondering if you can explain what that menu does, I might be able to find the equivalence in my router. Obrigado.

Time: 3:04 pm
I've checked out the DIR-628 emulator on the D-Link site and it appears that router doesn't have WISH at all, perhaps you could try messing about with the QOS settings as they are similar to WISH except they affect both wired and wireless on the WAN side of things, but may not have the same effect as WISH, personally I have WISH off and have no problems.
Date: January 12, 2009
Time: 1:45 am
Oi tudo,
I tried changing the WISH settings, but no luck. The Vista laptop has no issues with Shareport at all, whereas the XP machine cannot even recognize the router.
If the issue is router-side, I don't know why the Vista box would work and the XP box not?
Obrigado!

Hey guys, i am seeing the same thing on the dlink dir-825. Wireless PC's see my printer connected to the usb shareport fine. My wired PC's lose the printer whenever they are restarted. If i reboot the dir-825 the wired pc's will see the router again.
When I click the sharepoint icon, I see the ipaddress for the router when it's working correctly with the printer. When it's not, the ip address is not there and the first entry is advanced options.
I tried changing the wish settings but no change….

Hi Jacko and hoc, are either of your PCs that have this problem set to connect to the router via DHCP or via menually entered static IPs?
Date: January 13, 2009

Oi
Both my laptop (Vista) and desktop (XP) are connected by wire to the router, and both are set up using DHCP.
Obrigado!

I talked to dlink 3rd level today who was passing this on to the product manager. I need this to work so have done a good amount of testing. My PC's are all connecting via dhcp, all vista (some x32 and some x64).
From the testing here i have found that the wireless PC's always detect the printer connected to the shareport. The wired PC's are inconsistent… at best. If I reboot the dir-825, the wired pc's will immediately detect the shareport printer and keep it until the network connection is interrupted. If i pull the network cable on the wired pc, and then plug it back in, they will lose the printer and not re-establish it (exactly what happens when you power off your PC).
Hoping we can come up with a better solution than rebooting the router every day!!! I'm sure linksys would like to hear about that.
Date: January 14, 2009
Time: 7:14 am
hoc,
I think you may be on to something. In my set up, the system that has problem seeing the network USB port is connected to the router through a CAT5 directly. The laptop using wireless connection has always been good. I have an additional variable in my environment on the OS used. The wired desktop uses XP while the wireless laptop uses Vista.
I installed Windows 7 Beta on the wired machine over the weekend. I was again able to see the printer on the network USB port upon first start of the utility. When I exited out and restart the utility, I had problem again. I will try rebooting the router when I got home tonight.

I am getting a 'Connection failed, please try again.' message every minute or so from SharePort Network USB utility.
It's odd because I have my printer on the USB port and it works fine.
Any theories on where to look??

I get that too on every computer other than mine, strangely uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't fix it either, the only thing I did was upgrade the firmware, my computer installed SharePort after the firmware upgrade yet the other PCs have had it installed since before and they experience the problem.
I can't see any link between the Operating System they were running or the firewall/antivirus software either, what I have done is turned off the startup option in the program and run the programs only when I need to print.

Can anyone recommend a setup for allowing a mac and a PC to access and use the same external harddisk over a network? Or where I can find info on this? Here are the challenges:
- Both PC and Mac are a bit old, so no N-standard
- Formatting of disk: has to be HSF+ and PC will use MacDrive?
- Considered buying an entertainment PC and use this as “Server”

Dlink released an update to the sharepoint utility software this week. For my wired pc issues it does help, but is not a complete fix.
At start-up my wired pc doesn't see the printer connected to the shareport. In the 1.0 version, the dialog box for the utility started with “advanced options”. Now it starts with the address for the router.
I can force the utility to see the printer by selecting disable and then enable in that shareport dialog. Still not a complete solution but getting better…

Shareport is not finding my router in the pop up menu from the system tray icon. I have the DIR 655 and a vista x64 OS. Dlink support stated that shareport does not support 64 bit vista OS but posts here seem to contradict that. Any recommendations, advice would be much appreciated.

Oi tudo,
I setup the DIR-655 for a friend – one older desktop with Windows ME and a new laptop with Vista. The desktop is wired to the router, the laptop is wireless. I installed Shareport and hooked up his printer to the USB on the router. It worked! for a few days. Now the printer seems to have disappeared…. sort of. It's not listed in any application, but if I click on the Shareport Utility, it says the printer (a fairly new HP) is available. There's got to be something I'm missing here. Alguém sabe?
(For now, he's not trying to print from the desktop, but I was thinking a usb hub would allow me to hook the printer to the desktop as well as the router.)
obrigado
Date: January 27, 2009
Time: 4:37 am
Oh well, I went to my friend's house and everything worked fine… of course! The printer was available and I clicked Connect and it connected. It did reinstall the printer driver. Who knows what he did — he did say he'd been turning. So maybe when I rebooted, it got straightened out.
I am still interested in using a usb hub so his desktop is wired to the printer. So, if anyone has done that and has any “gotchas” to warn me about, I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking printer to hub and hub to desktop and hub to router.
obrigado

Just got a DIR-655 last week after all the good reviews. I downloaded the SharePort fw 1.21 (2008/10/09). I'ma bit disappointed with it. Wanted to share some of the issues I'm seeing perhaps you have solutions to share;
- Clients (3x Vista Acers, & XP Pro Lenovo) have hard time getting an IP address with WPA-personal, and WPA2-personal after wake-up. I must have the laptop try few times until it succeeds. They worked quite fine with cheap Belkin 802.11g routers
- Connection drops even though signal is in the 85% or greater most of the time
- Finally, I bought this when I heard about the SharePort fw. This feature was a big disappointment. I thought it may work as a printserver, but clients have to request and grant the connection before use… very stupid when no one is using the already connected client! – Also, if the laptop sleeps, the connection gets stuck and a USB disconnect/re-connect must be done for the printer to be re-discovered. Lastly, my Canon MF MP830 is not happy with it. The print preview doesn't work anymore, the printer doesn't wake up on jobs, and the jobs error out frequently.

Hi, I have my own DIR655 for 1 week. Its an EU version, but US firmware 1.21 run smothly. Shareport works, but not very stable.
First issue, sharing USB disk drive over the WiFi is not a good idea IMHO. Any network problem and Vista have issues with device. Also performance is an issue (800kB/s when 2M/s when copying files between laptops with WiFi n adapters).
But I purchased this router for printer sharing. And it is possible, but Shareport Utility (1.0) works only on the local account. When working on the active directory account, the utility's popup window shows the device connected to the router's USB port. But when clicking on the tray icon the app window is not shown. Application is on the taskbar but has no window to select device and do connect.
On the local account everything is OK. Seems to be the SharePort Utility issue. The OS was installed a week ago, not many aplications installed.

For KingTut: I have a similar problem on my laptop, the problem is caused by the channels the router is using for wireless, sometimes it will get out of range of standard wireless cards, even my laptop's N card doesn't work properly sometimes, try forcing the wireless channel to something like channel 6 for a while and see how it goes, you can also try having the channel set to 20Mhz, not 20/40.
For bally: It's possible SharePort needs certain permissions to run properly, it may be a good idea to get in contact with D-Link so they are aware of this issue, it could be a bug that they are unaware of as of yet.

Just installed the latest firmware for DIR-655 and Shareport on three Vista and three XP Pro SP3 pcs. The vista pc's are both wired and wireless and works fine. Te XP pc's refuse to find the router (all three wired). What more is that the Shareport uses up all CPU power when I try to exit the application. There is definitely problems with the software. All firewalls have been turned off. The XP machines have different Anti virus (AVG, Avast and Norman). One of the XP PC's are connected directly to the router, two through a access point. Changing channels or stopping other applications using communication ports have no effect. The Shareport has been tested 0.94 and also updated to 1.0 and tested with clean installations. If anyone is able to run Shareport on XP, please explain how it was installed. Also try Exiting the application and check the CPU meeter.

Just wondering out loud: do you think that it would be possible to use DIR-655´s USB port for something else then sharing a printer?
It certainly doesn´t sound to be good enough for usb-hdd´s for very low transfer speeds that´s been mentioned over here.
Could it be used for hosting a very small web server from an USB stick, like a static home page?

I think i have a different problem here.. i connected a usb hard disk on the usb port of my dir-655 (1.21 firmware) and installed the shareport utility on my vista32 and xp sp3 computers.. I get no router name when i right click the utility in the system tray so I can't select any usb device from the router.. By double clicking the utility, i get no detected usb device in the utiliy's panel either.. I even tried without wirewall, to no avaqil.. what's up with this?

Time: 7:07 pm
..also, whenever i boot vista32 i get a 'new hardware found' message and the request to install drivers for the router.. except that there are no drivers in the cd that came with it or on dlink's website… any suggestions? (by the way, the router works, as I can connect wireless and share my internet connection..)
Date: February 13, 2009
Time: 10:55 pm
For Stefano:
Try downloading/installing SharePort again, the drivers are a combination of generic drivers that Windows should already have and 1 or 2 that should be installed with that setup program.
Looks like the program has installed but has been unsuccessful in installing the drivers for some reason, it is most likely that the setup program has exited and deleted the required driver files in the temporary directory before it has had a chance to install them.
Have you V-Lited or stripped down your Windows XP cds in any way? Sometimes removing inbuilt drivers stops less common drivers that some hardware needs.
For Gustavo:
Unfortunately this software and the drivers don't play well with other software and drivers and there is so many possible incompatabilities, it crashes many computers with seemingly no reason.
If there is any software that is installed on those Laptops however unconnected they may seem to the problem, try removing them temporarily.
For Mika:
I don't think there's much chance of that being possible until they create some sort of interface that allows the router to use the stick for storage so it can run an additional server, then I think the router may not have the processing power needed for such a task.
For Bally:
This would be more of an additional feature in D-Link's eyes, they would have no obligation to get it working correctly, it's just the way those companies work, they don't get much more money on additional functionality such as this so it's not really worth their time.
For GC:
I've never experienced cpu usage issues at any time with SharePort on XP or vista, using different virus scanners or wireless/wired, or even through another access point, I actually have the program set to not startup as it has all sorts of problems when it's allowed to run all the time.
My installation was fairly straight forward so it probably won't help you much, double clicked on the install file, installed with default options and when it was done restarted.
FOR ALL:
I had problems with the program telling me the usb device was connected, then not every 10 minutes or so, then when attempting to use it it would disconnect each time, seems that the router no longer liked my usb extension cable, so I removed it and all is good now, so try changing usb cables when things don't work out properly.

Thanks for the answer… my xp install is fairly clean, so i don't think it has any problems.. also, i didn't detect any problems while installing the shareport utility in both computers, so i find it hard to believe it's a bad installation.. i'm clueless..

I just read most of this comments here, but it seems that I have diffrent kind of problem. Although I know that D-Link DIR-655 is exellent, I am thinking to buy DIR-855 or DIR-825 which are DualBand. I have TOSHIBA Qosmio F50-10K, so inegrated wireless card uses Atheros AR9280 chipset.

2. Which D-Link wireless Router should I buy?
Thanks for any comment!
Date: March 6, 2009
Time: 3:43 pm
Hi Jerry,
Your wireless card supposedly does do 2.4ghz/5ghz simultaneously, though I would check with nay documentation that came with it just to make sure.
I'm not too sure about those 2 routers as I have not had any experience personally with any of them, however I have heard that the DIR-855s have all sorts of issues, however we hear of all sorts of issues with the 655 so it really depends on what kind of bugs you can handle. If you want you can even go for another brand such as Linksys, their routers have great reviews lately.
I forgot to mention before for DIR-655 users:
There is a new beta firmware out called 1.22b05 , a significant portion of users have reported that it works great, much better than their recent releases, however this is a beta so be careful and don't install if you're worried about voiding your warranty etc, if it does fail and you're running the beta firmware they are likely to say no to a warranty replacement.
Date: March 6, 2009
Time: 3:47 pm
Jerry,
I bought 2 of the DIR-825 routers. They do simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which is why I wanted them instead of the 655.
I am having trouble, though, in getting Shareport to recogni the router on my Vista Ultimate system.

Well I'm not sure the specifics but…
It uses an open incoming port at port 9303 using the UDP protocol so try opening that port on the firewall.

The DIR-655 is a great router, but the shareport utility is absolutely the worst piece of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of using. It is flaky at best…sometimes it works fine but most of the time it just simply doesn't work. If they are going to release this feature, they need to ensure it works. Otherwise it just serves to frustrate users.

I have a DIR-655 router and have been trying to get the Shareport utility to work. I have three computers in the network: a laptop with Vista and two desktops, one Vista one XP. The laptop uses a wireless connection and the two desktops are hooked to the router with ethernet cable. The laptop and the XP desktop work fine. But the Vista desktop only works sometimes. It's really random, sometimes the Shareport utility recognizes the printer plugged into the router and sometimes it doesn't. Quaisquer pensamentos?
Date: April 18, 2009
Time: 12:33 pm
I'm seeing more and more cases of Ethernet connected PCs that can't get SharePort working correctly where wireless PCs work fine, I would have expected the opposite to happen.
If there is no software on the Vista PC that could block it intermittently, such as a VPN or an active firewall then it may just be one of those times where it just doesn't want to work, as an outside the box idea try updating the network card's drivers on that PC, occasionally I have seen that fix all sorts of strange network application issues.
If you have time to spare it doesn't hurt to send an e-mail to D-Link explaining the symptoms, if we get enough in they may be able to stabilise the program more.

Hi Ben and all,
thanks for all the tips and hints, i've read everything.
I bought a 655 a few days ago and tried to get the shareport working since (tried really hard).
I just wanted to view some movies on my laptop without having to turn on the PC and make backups to the USB-HDD. Shareport seemed great and made me pay 179 EUR.
Tomorrow it's going back to the shelf. I want my money back.
I hope the people at D-Link think twice next time before launching something so crappy!

They are having alot of trouble keeping customers at this stage, It would have helped them alot if they had not advertised shareport as a feature.

I tried getting Shareport to work for a while and finally gave up and uninstalled it. Now I am trying to print the old fashioned way (over the network and not using the d link's USB hub) and I am having huge problems. Printing over the network was fine before shareport, now after intsalling and uninstalling it I have serious issues. Printing takes FOREVER. I mean it is VERY slow. Could the shareport software have left something on my machine that is causing this? Obrigado.

It could have done something, SharePort connects you straight to the printer, so you install drivers for the printer that are configured to connect via usb, if they weren't uninstalled properly then there may be some redundancy that is causing the slowness, try removing all of the printers listed in “Printers & Faxes” and reinstall the network printer driver, unfortunately printer drivers are tricky to remove completely but that should at least remove some connection to the old (USB SharePort) drivers.

Obrigado. Where exactly would I find the “network printer driver?”
Date: May 20, 2009
Time: 3:51 pm
Well when you have all your printers uninstalled and you find the printer over the network windows should prompt to install the printer, you may have to right click it and click connect if double clicking doesn't work, here's an example:
Often it will get the driver for the printer from the other computer or windows update so you don't have to find it, however if it asks for a driver simply use the printer's driver cd and it will install those instead.

Hello all, I noticed you guys are posting on the shareport Utility.
I just wanted to give you guys out there a heads up on the New firmware for DIR655 (ver 1.31) that requires you to upgrade the shareport utility to ver 1.10
It seems there is a bug in the utility or the firmware. Once installed the utility is able to “see” the printer and connect to it with the connect button, however, if you want to be able to connect to the printer automatically (like with ver 1.14)your not going to be able too.
After spending a couple of hours on the phone with Dlink and various support personnel, I was finally told by a “software specialist” that it will not work and I will have to manually connect every time I want to print.
Some may thinks, that's no big deal just hit the connect button, but when you have several computers and they all want to print from that particular printer it can be a hassle to go to every machine and connect then disconnect.
So if you decide you want to upgrade your firmware, keep this bit of info in mind.
Until then I have to wait till another software upgrade to become available and hope that it resolves the problem.
Oh! and by the way once you upgrade the routers' firmware to ver 1.31 you CAN NOT revert back to the previous one.
Date: May 21, 2009

Thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of the bug in the newer version, hopefully they fix them all later on, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the tutorial and screenshots. I have tried your method to set up the SharePort 1.14 with my DIR-655 Firmware V. 1.21. It is working well. Obrigado!
Initially, the print job encountered a problem. I just restart the print job and use SharePort to disconnect with the printer then reconnect again, then it starts printing as normal.
Obrigado!

Ei!
I am also interested in the D-Link DIR-655 and I want to connect my USB hard disk to it as some kind of mini-NAS. Has anyone here successfully connected a USB hard disk yet and (more importantly) tested the speed you can achive through this connection? Thanks a lot in advance,
David
Date: June 3, 2009
Time: 9:38 pm
Connecting a hard disk works however the connection is limited to USB 1.1 speeds (12 Megabits/Second or 1.5 Megabytes/Second), so it's quite slow, generally not recommended if you're going to be transferring large files.

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.
Date: June 16, 2009
Time: 10:20 am
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.
Date: June 16, 2009
Time: 12:42 pm
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.

Hi Ben,
I am from India.
Recently bought the DIR 655. (H/w Ver: A3 & F/w Ver: 1.11WW)
and couldn't use the usb port for accessing the external hard disc or a printer. on calling the tech support, they said the hardware version you are using doesn't support this feature, it should be A4.
Is this the problem of h/w ver. or F/w version.
Date: July 9, 2009
Time: 12:53 pm
I don't think they have been telling the truth there, the A3 can use SharePort, however you will need to upgrade to a newer firmware version to be able to use this, either a 1.2x version or a 1.3x version, keep in mind if you upgrade to the 1.3x series of firmware you will not be able to downgrade again.
Date: July 11, 2009
Time: 2:18 am
thanks a lot Ben for clearing this confusion. I have another query. After speaking to the D Link tech support, they say if i upgrade the firmware version, then the warranty on the product won't be valid. so should i just go ahead with the upgrade.
and why do you think after upgrading the firmware, i may need to downgrade it again.
Date: July 11, 2009
Time: 1:09 pm
When it comes to the 1.3x firmwares they do have problems that the 1.2x series don't have, but they do fix a few problems with SharePort that were causing a few users to not be able to use it, all DIR-655 routers respond differently to different firmwares so what works for one may not work properly for another.
To be safe I would recommend using a 1.2x version firmware to use at first, if it doesn't work properly for whatever reason you can downgrade the firmware back to the version you currently have.
Most people have only a few problems with 1.31 but if you want to readup on these check out the D-Link Forums here

Had the same problem with SharePort not finding the USB-printer (connected to a DIR-825 router) on one my computers. Tried updating firmeware, s/w, just about everything, but no. At one time though, it did find the device, which set me off thinking. This might just sound stupid: but don't touch the mouse (USB-connecdted) while rebooting”. Works for me every time!!! Anybody that could understand why?
Date: July 24, 2009
Time: 6:09 pm
That is a very odd solution for it, but if it works then I would encourage people to test it out if they have that issue, doesn't hurt to try. Perhaps disconnecting such usb devices while rebooting would also work?

I connect Buffalo Drive Station external usb harddisk to my DIR-655. Before I use Network USB Utility to access the harddisk, the router is working fine (no disconnection when surfing internet). However, after I connect to my external harddisk via Network USB Utility and then try to copy files to the harddisk, every time after a few seconds, the connection to the router is broken. I have to reboot my computer.
Does anyone encounter this problem? How can I solve this? Obrigado.

I had a problem with Shareport (1.14) not detecting my Seagate 1 TB USB HDD connected to my DIR-855 (1.12EU)
It would only detect if i connected my laptop (Vista) to the DIR-855 through cable, not wireless.
Problem was resolved after disabling my ethernet adapter, keeping only the wifi adapter enabled, then rebooting.
So it seems like Shareport “locks” onto the initial adapter used for connecting.
Now it works like a charm, with no noticeable delay r/w on the HDD vs connecting directly to the laptops usb-port.

Olá
I have read the dfferent posts but not seem people having a similar problem…
FW : 1.32NA
1 computer with Vista, 1 with XP
Bought the router last week.
Globally it works fine but I have problems using the shareport utility frequently.
If I want to print :
When I switch the router on, it connects to the printer (Samsung ML2510) and everything works fine. The page prints.
If the router is up for a few hours and I want to print, the router sees the printer, shows it as “available” but is not able to connect to the printer. It always tries (can see the trying to connect to samsung ML2510, please wait). The message stops and comes back 2 seconds after and even after 10 minutes it is still not able to connect to the printer.
If I reboot the router, everything works fine.
If I wait a few more hours, same pattern, not able to connect to the printer except if I reboot the router.
Do you have any ideas ?
Obrigado!

Same problem here, works fine and dandy after install but a day or two later you try to connect, it says connecting, times out in a refresh to available status, and nothing. I'm so frustrated with this shareport utility and every time I call customer svc some Indian person with the thickest accent I've heard answers the phone. I bought this router specifically for this feature and it's very broken. It's a huge oversight on an otherwise excellent router. Alguém tem alguma idéia?

I have done that, but again you will have to do it every 2 days. If I reboot the computer it sometimes shows 2 of the same usb device. I will have to scrap the whole idea and share the damn thing through a networked PC. What a joke, get it right the first time…Is it that hard to fix it? While I am on this topic ever scince I have updated the frimware the router just periodically shuts down? It was a great router before not sure what is happening now?

The router is shutting down?
As in off completely or a reboot?
If it's turning off then you may have a much bigger but slightly less common problem with it, if it's rebooting then I'd still suggest to give D-Link a call/email and see if you can get it replaced with a new one.

Spoke with DLink tech support yesterday, and after an HOUR of trying to get the SharePort to work, I was transferred to a 4th support agent who actually knew what he was talking about. Within seconds, he informed me that not all devices are supported, and that DLINK will not publish a list of devices that are. My 250GB Western Digital USB drive will not work, which defeats the purpose of paying extra for the SharePort feature.

Bonjour,
I had similar Shareport issues two weeks ago. I wrote to DLink and their answer solved my problem. I take the liberty to show it below in the hope it will help somebody. IN my case I was not using the proper version of the Shareport utility.
With the firmware 1.32NA make sure that the shareport utility that you using is version 1.10. This can be downloaded from the following link http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=530

Having the same problem as jimmey above.
Got a DIR-655 V1.21 and shareport V1.15, running on a vista laptop. I use a Dynex 7port USB hub on the router.
Seems like I can use 2 Lexar thumb drives fine and can use my IPOD hook up fine as well as my HP printer, all @ once if i wanted but if i hooked up my 500GB lacie external HD it sends windows explorer into (not responding) after i try to connect. tried the same HD just into slots on laptop and no problems.
WTF!
Thinking maybe this HD is incompatible as well.
Any idea's of which HD's will work?
Date: October 2, 2009
Time: 5:31 pm
There are many usb storage devices that don't work at all and more that don't work properly, I haven't heard anything from D-Link about any reasons why.
Is the hub self powered? The hard drive may be after more power than the router can supply to it, a hub with it's own power source may be able to provide enough power instead.

hi here is jean from germany…
i have trouble setting up my printer to the router above and i really need some help on it.
first at all im using the dlink dir-655 router (Version A2). the first thing i did was updating the firmware up to the latest 1.32NA. after that i configured my internet and all the network settings. it works just fine but here is my problem: i cant setting up my printer (a canon pixma ip4500). under the setting usb-settings i just dont have the possibility to choose usb, only shareport or wcn configuration. i already installed the sharport utility (version 1.15) on my computer. the printer drivers are installed too.
before i used a separate printserver. but i cant use it anymore because i switched to wpa2 and draft-n in my whole network. the printserver doesnt work with it so i need the usb port on the router.
i also tried to change the connection type to an ip-port on my computer. i did all the settings (ip-adress of the router, lpr with byte counting and stuff) but it doesnt work. my printer doesnt get shown online on the shareport utility. how can i make my printer work???
very thanx for your help.

its jean again…
my problem changed a little. i kicked off the shareport utility v1.15 from my computer and i reinstalled v1.10. now the utility shows my printer online. the drivers are still installed of my printer.
but i still dont get my printer work. even its connected. i guess i need to configure the connection settings on the port settings of the printer local on my computer, because its not working about the settings in the shareport utility.
how do i get my printer work??? thanx a lot.

Try to reinstall that printer driver to your computer and test print to make sure it works then from there connect that printer USB cable to the router. Now it must works.

I agree, it seems the printer is being correctly connected to, remove any cases of that printer that you already have installed as they would be pointing to the wrong device location and then reinstall the printer to change the location from a network device (before) to a virtual usb port (now on shareport).

I guess that can be in the http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Gaming.shtml at ADVANCED/PORT FORWARDING and check your Computer name/select + IP/add, to allow it can see TCP/UDP in range of 19540 ? Since mine is working with 1.32NA vs 1.10 Shareport and I did not know much so I try not to touch anything and if kk can give us the correct answer what had been done, that would be fantastic.

The only problem I have with it is that you can't forward that port to more than one computer and if it does work by forwarding to only one of the computers then I'm not sure how it would change anything, unless it's some sort of bug in the router.
Date: October 26, 2009
Time: 11:10 am
I assume as Dlink or someone stated that the shareport can only be used for users one at a time, so I also assume the Router Admin can go ahead input all computer name + its IP into the port forwarding list, be readied for users to use as one person at a time. Well if FW 1.32NA + SP 1.10 work as it is, why not just use this configuration, make it simple. My thought.

hello people, its jean again.
i still have this problem to connect my printer but now i can be more specific. i tested it on different computers in my network and it only works on my netbook… so here is what i did:
i connected the printer to the router via usb. the shareport utility shows my printer as available. if i want to connect it, it works just fine (on my netbookk). now i plugged off the printer and i plugged on an usb-hub on my router. now i plugged in a second device, my printer again and an optical disk drive. the utility shows both as available and the connection works fine too on my netbook, even with both devices at the same time.
but this only works on my netbook. maybe (i think) it really must have to do anything with a port opening on my other computers. on my netbook it works. i have win home on it. unfortunately it doesnt work on my other computers in my network (i have win pro on each one on it).
i already know that i only can connect one computer to those devices. even when i disconnect the devices from my netbook, i cant get them run on an other machine. the utility shows those devices on my other computers as available but i damn cant get it connected there.
now im really out of advice here and i need some help. someone please need to tell me how it works with the port opening or some other reason.
PLEASE HELP. thanx alot.

Many people have insisted that re-flashing the firmware on the router does wonders for it's reliability but I'm not such a fan, but it's always worth a try.
It's a good sign that the devices can be seen at least on the other PCs, is there any form of firewall or antivirus software that the other PCs have that isn't installed on the netbook?
I notice from your previous comments that you are already on 1.32, so flashing the firmware shouldn't cause any harm, I would recommend trying the firmware here , it fixes a SharePort bug of some kind, it may be the bug that you are experiencing. At the very least some users that have had trouble with 1.32NA have reported that the firmware just works better anyway, which could be caused any number of things from a better flash to it's ability to wipe the settings. I'm *still* yet to test how SharePort works with it, but I may do so shortly.
The port forwarding idea above is interesting, but doesn't sound practical as SharePort is automatic and port forwarding is not, so you would be forever going in and changing the port forwarding options to each PC.
Date: October 28, 2009
Time: 7:37 pm
last night i tried that thing about opening a port on the router and -how surprising- it doesnt work either.
i need to know how to open this port on the other computers, i dont know. maybe this works.
i have already thought about switching back to an older version of the firmware on the router. but i think that would not change anything. its how you said before, its a good sign, that the devices are shown as available on the other computers.
by the way i have installed on each machine the same antivir software, service pack 3 and included the windows firewall. the only thing different on my netbook is, i have xp home on it and xp pro on the others. oh yes on each machine i also have peer guardian installed.
i doesnt work even if i terminate the task of peer gaurdian or the other firewall software. there is also no way to change something in the win registry about the shareport utility.
so how does this work with the port opening or do you have some other advice maybe i should try to get back to an older version of the firmware.
thanx alot.
Date: October 28, 2009
Time: 7:53 pm
For starters I would recommend the fixed firmware here as it really has helped with SharePort's connectivity and stability for me, you can also try going to the earlier firmware as well, I think 1.30 or 1.31 supports the older version that seemed to work well for people.
I don't know how the whole port forwarding thing is supposed to work and it just seems really strange to me.
I don't think the software you are running would cause any problems as I also run them on the computers that don't have SharePort issues.
This is a little off-topic but I started using PeerBlock a few months ago, it's a recent fork of PeerGuardian where they have performed many fixes and even have a signed driver, I highly recommend it if you find PeerGuardian to be a little unstable/slow like I did.

Some of these drives, especially the newer ones need extra USB power to turn on fully and I don't believe the router has the power capability in the USB port to do so, if you have a self-powered 4 port usb hub or anything like that you can try connecting through it as it should have the necessary power.
If you a clicking sound that happens every 1-2 seconds at a regular interval from the drive when it's plugged into that port it's a sign that it's not getting the power that it needs as it is stuck in the power up cycle, my external USB drive does the same thing if it connects to a port that doesn't have enough power for it.
Officially D-Link insist that large drives do actually work, just in reality people are finding that it's hit and miss.

I have tried do download shareport to my computers, all of them running win xp.
Every time the installation is almost completed, the computer goes into “bluescreen”, and I have to restart it. The same happens again if I try to run the program.
The only time I manage to run the program is when I disconnect any network connection…but then I don't have much use for the software…
Do any of you have any ideas why my computer crashes??
please reply!

Find any software that the computers share in common, for example security or Anti-virus software and try disabling them while you do the install and see if it occurs during, some software needs to be uninstalled before it will let it work properly though.
It seems that it may be caused by the network card's driver or some service running on it like the security software from above.
The easiest way to know for certain what specifically is causing it is to Google search the message that appears in your blue screen, usually just the error code(s) are needed, if it states a .sys file then you can search and find what it's for.
Usually a driver update can help but if it's occurring on multiple PCs with different hardware then it's probably some software conflicting with SharePort, it is very picky and in many cases will not install with certain software installed.

I have DIR-655 firmware 1.21
Network USB Utility 0.93
3 computers on network
2 computers recognize and can connect to the usb printer (an HP Laserjet 1200) through Network USB Utility with no problems.
3rd computer has been able to connect with no problems for months until upgrade to version 1.15 from the program. After install both version 0.93 and 1.15 were present but neither saw the router. Uninstalled 0.93 and 1.15 still did not see router. Uninstalled 1.15 and reinstalled 0.93 and 0.93 still did not see router. Uninstalled 0.93. Removed referrences in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / D-Link and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / D-Link to both 0.93 and 1.15. Restored factory default on DIR-655. Reset all settings. Reinstalled 0.93 but still no connection to router.
When right clicking on the red icon in the taskbar on the 3rd computer, the menu does not include the top portion that lists the router name and ip. The top of the box is right above Advanced Options. The router name and ip are present on the 1st and 2nd computers.
I have hit a frustrating dead end. I do not understand why this no longer works on this computer. Other than my previous attempt to upgrade to 1.15 through the network usb utility program itself there are no other software changes on the 3rd computer. I'd be grateful for any ideas on how to fix…

To remove HKEY completely, you may need the Registry cleaner such as http://www.yamicsoft.com/ or I guess you can Restore your system to the old Point before the date you installed 1.15 if that Point is still available in your System Tool / System Restore.
I suspect your 3rd computer must has something not compatible in the Window itself or so ?

I do have restore points prior to the installation of 1.15 but all attempts to restore to these points fail. I will look at the registry cleaner next.

Registry cleaned and defrag'd. Smart uninstaller utilized to ensure Network USB Utility and Shareport completely uninstalled (it did find a registry key I did not previously locate). Unfortunately, after doing a fresh install of the Network USB Utility ver. 0.93 from the disk that came with the router, it still doesn't display the D-Link Router at the top of the menu displayed when right-clicking on the icon. The utility is still red – not recognizing the network and the utility states no usb devices are connected to the network. I am connected to the network and have internet access. The other computers on the network are recognizing the device and network through the USB Utility. Some fragment of the previous 1.15 install must still be screwing this up…

Even with registry cleaner, sometimes user has to reboot and reclean by two or more passes as my experienced and surprised some still shows up.

Hello – glad I found this thread/forum.
I purchased ( just 2 weeks ago ) a D-Link ( my first ) DIR-628 SPECIFICALLY for the Shareport feature.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on my main system… and I've flashed the router firmware to the latest rev. and have downloaded the latest Shareport util. I've been on the phone several times with D-Link ( support ) and they pretty much have given up… with the last word being “Sorry, doesn't work with Windows 7″… watch for an update to this utility.
I figured I could make this work in a Virtual Machine running WinXP Pro~32bit as the guest OS… still nothing. Is this just a waste of my time and money ? Should I return the router and get a NetGear ?
I've never owned a D-Link before… are they a reputable company with good intentions to make their products work ( even if I have to wait for some update ? ) ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers, Sean

The SharePort Utility works with Windows 7 (x86/x64) just fine, in theory it should always work, it's just that it is easier for them to say it doesn't as I don't think they support Windows 7 officially with their current range of routers yet.
D-Link have made progress with their SharePort software but it takes them a lot of time to fix things and they don't seem too enthusiastic about it anymore.
D-Link used to be a reputable company with good intentions…
Netgear routers are pretty good, their latest range beat D-Link's hands down IMO

I have not been able to fix this problem. I have uninstalled the program using the software at http://www.yamicsoft.com/ and cleaned the registry many, many times. Whatever happened when I chose to upgrade to the SharePort Utility 1.15 from within the Network USB Utility program has modified some file on my computer that is not getting fixed when the program is uninstalled…even when it is all completely uninstalled and the registry cleaned. I know that the failed, attempted upgrade did not modify the router because the other computers in my residence that are using version 0.93 of the Network USB Utility (and which never underwent the attempted upgrade to 1.15) continue to be able to print to the printer connected to the usb port on the router. Its just this, my computer, on which I had attempted the upgrade. I have even installed the software on a laptop and had it wirelessly connected to the router and it could print from the printer. So something has been changed on the computer as a result of the installation of 1.15 that doesnt show up when uninstalling the program. The change has to do with this computer's recognition of the server ip address because when Network USB Utility 0.93 is reinstalled it fails to recognize the network or list it in the box you get from right clicking the utility icon on the task bar. This computer is connected to the router and does have internet access as this is the computer i am posting this message with. Any ideas on what file may have been modified by 1.15 so I can attempted to fix it. My only other option is a complete reinstall of all my programs on a new hard drive…I would like to avoid that.

Jeff, I had the same problem after doing a firmware upgrade on my 635. I had to disable the “auto channel scan” (located in wireless settings) which allowed me to fix the routers channel to channel [x]. I also checked that my “transmission rate” was set to “auto”. HTH
Secondly, with the shareport I can get my 1TB hard drive to work but not my 3 Mobile 3G modem. I believe I have set it up correctly and my ISP is listed in the WWAN ISP dialogue box. Any further tips???

Hi Jeff
I have exactly the same problem. 3 notebooks, 2 work fine with SharePort, one simply refuses to see the router / usb devices. All computers have the same setup, OS, security, but something obviously must be different and I just can't figure out what it is. I tried everything and I consider myself quite computer savvy. Any success stories from your side in the meantime?
