Title: Shareport under Windows 7 (DIR-825 router): getting printer to connect
Post by: ginolee on December 20, 2009, 09:18:18 PM

In a nutshell, there are 3 entries in the Windows Advanced Firewall, inbound rules that the SharePort installation sets up.  Two entries are called: 'SharePort Utility' and the third is called: SXUPTP

The installation only enabled the 'public' profile for these 3 inbound rules.  I had to also enable the 'private' profile for these 3 inbound rules.  This should probably be fixed in the installation software itself.

(see below for more detailed instructions)

If it works for you, post a reply on this board.

Best,

Gino.
