The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-655 => Topic started by: smallweb on April 23, 2009, 03:14:09 AM

Hello,
Ik have connected an USB disk to my DIR-655 router (with firmware 1.21EU installed). I have installed the SharePort USB network utility (version 1.14) on my Windows 2003 server. De utility recognizes the USB disk and creates an additional drive, so this works great.
But, when I want to log off from Windows (because this is a server) the utility wants to disconnect from the USB drive.
Is it possible to be connected to the USB drive, without any user logged on?
Thx,
Smallweb

Ask around also in more Windows oriented forums.
But to my knowledge: No.

I have not looked at shareport... are you able to configure it at all as a service?
We have had issues at work with software like this, not all vendors take servers into account when writing software, we have a number of servers that must remain logged in on the console.

You cannot install it as a service since it requires interaction to manually connect. The reason for disconnection is that (this version) does not allow concurrent conncetions to a attached device. So keeping it connceted will obstruct other users on the LAN to use a USB device.

OK, thanks for your answers.
