Well, after upgrading to this firmware, I no longer saw my device with Shareport with the released software for Shareport at that time.

I have reinstalled the software; I've even upgraded the version to no avail.

The computer saw nothing shared.

When I installed the DIR-655 Beta Shareport (1.10), the device was seen, but unable to be connected to.  The Shareport software would say that the device is available, attempt to connect (and it would display "receiving status"), then it would remain disconnected stating that the device was available.

Using OS X Shareport software on my Intel Macs, I could connect, a printer item would spool, but I would not have anything print.

Now - here's the interesting part.

I found out I can share a hard disk via Shareport just fine, even on OS X!  So, herein lies the dilemma.

The hard disk works, but the printer does not.  Prior to firmware upgrade, I was able to print (PC) fine.  I never used Shareport on my Macs, since there wasn't a released version.  Prior to the firmware upgrade, I never tried the hard disk on Shareport, so I cannot vouch for that.

It seems to be an issue between Shareport and my printer (HP LaserJet 1020).

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated! Smiley  It seems Shareport isn't the issue -- Shareport + Printer + Latest Firmware is.

I'm using the PC version you guys put up a few days ago and from the start it would not work. It sees the Dell AIO 926 as "Language Error Language Error". It also only stays connected for a about 10 seconds and then back to available status.

I had the same problem, but after rebooting both computer and router everything worked fine ... In fact the Older Shareport didn't work for me at all on this specific PC - probably because of VmWare ...

I'm happy with the new client & 1.20

I just have a question: Is the OS X Shareport 1.10 downloadable package (in .zip format) missing something?
Looks like it's missing the installation program. I have an Intel MAC running the latest OS X and the file COsetup doesn't run. Information says it's a PowerPC file only, not universal.

Also, I managed to install the software, but may be incomplete, as I'm able to mount and see the directory structure of my USB Drive (the one I use for Time Machine), but Time Machine takes forever to run and eventually the drive disconnects. I can't even drag-and-drop a simple file to it.

Any Clues???

Thanks.

Sounds like the same issue PC users are having. From what I can see there is no current fix or what may be the cause.

Go into the SharePortUtility directory, and run the SharePortUtility_10_4 setup file.  This is what I did, and the software installed successfully.

Thanks for your reply
I have done in the past. I have also tried installing the packages included inside the SharePortUtility/contained_packages directory except the Silex_kext_legacy package

I can see the USB Drive, mount it, read the content, but that's about it.
TimeMachine doesn't work. It tries undefinitely.
I would like to hear feedback from people using TimeMachine this way.

Thanks again
