Shareport with WD 1110 USB Drive
« on: September 21, 2011, 01:47:02 PM »

I have a DIR-655, Rev. B, FW 2.03NA, Sharepoint 3.0, a WD My Book Essential 1110 (1 TB USB drive) and Win7 32 bit. When I first connected the drive to Shareport, it worked perfectly. I was even able to run backups over wireless. Suddenly, I can connect to the drive and it appears in Windows Explorer. I can read the drive, but I cannot write to it except to create directories in Windows Explorer. Attempting to copy files just results in Explorer giving me a box that says "Calculating" for the time remaining, file sizes and transfer rate.

I connected the drive directly to two of my computers and it worked perfectly on each. However, it no longer works on the Starepoint with either wired or wireless connections. I uninstalled Sharepoint and reinstalled it, but that had no effect. I have rebooted the router which makes no difference. Sharepoint is excepted in the Windows Firewall on all machines.

Since the drive works perfectly while connected directly to the computers, I believe that the problem must either be in the software or the router, but I can't determine which.
