Post by: funchords on December 25, 2008, 08:03:47 PM: I have seen reports of this in the DSLReports D-Link users forum -- the prevailing suggestion was to ignore it (Don't Show Message Again). The device operates just fine.

I can't seem to locate the thread...

The router does not 'advertise' or 'broadcast' the USB capability on the clients. Only when Shareport is installed on the client it will notice the connection. And when installed it will not ask for any more drivers.

Let's call it one of the strange side effects of Windows UAC.

Lycan, I hope you can keep us informed about this subject :)
