Ru-Fi-Oh did you see my post back with the answers to your question(s)? Any ideas?

Does shareport detect the drive?
Does the USB light come on when the Drive is connected via shareport?

How long have you left it connected to shareport?

When are you going to support 64 bit Os's?
I have been waiting for this all year.

Hello,

64 bits support is working perfectly (Vista and 7 now) (it always has since the begining of shareport).

Do we have a time frame on when this issue with Shareport will be fixed or when a new update will be released? I bought the DIR-655 with the understanding I could hook my printer to it and now this feature is pretty useless to me without Shareport working.

Any reponse from D-Link?

Folks, I am very new here so I ask your patience. I had connect issues with my DIR-655 and Shareport, trying to add an HP 6210 All-In-One. Got through to DLINK tech support. The first person I spoke with could not help me. She passed me along to another person. That gentleman had me do two things. The first was to add or change a setting that ended with ".255". Really sorry I don't remember what it was, and I can't find it now....The second thing he had me do was to open the router settings page (192.168.0.1), go to "Advanced"-> "Advanced Network" and at the bottom check the box that says "Enable Multicast Stream". Then at the top, click "Save Settings". Then reboot the router. After that, when I opened up the Shareport Utility, the printer was there as before and it stayed connected this time. Wish I could remember that first one...

After reading some more posts, I found what I believe was the first fix missing in my previous post.
I believe this is on the Shareport window.
1. click on Options (the wrench icon)
2. Go to the "Search for Device Servers" tab
3. Type 192.168.0.255
Good luck to us all.

Now I have uninstalled Shareport and replaced it with SX-Virtual Link. Things are definitly better now. I will wait and see if any old problems crop up.

[bigdaddyglenn]

Well, seems like both the Shareport software and the SX Virtual Link software share a few things. Such as layout, look and feel, and headaches. When trying to connect a 2T Western Digital HD to my DIR-655, both of these programs acted the same way, connect and soon afterwards disconnect. I wanted to be able to feed movies to my soon-to-be-received DSM-520 to watch on my HD tv without powering up my PC. That was the goal. Any ideas?

Phyroinstinct ,

I am experiencing the same workaround as you are. I install Shareport Ver .94 which came with my DIR -628 to my XP wireless laptop and it finds my 1.5TB USB drive. But if I disconnect or shutdown the laptop, the next time I start up the laptop it will not find the USB device. If I then uninstall .94 and reinstall it from the CD it will again find the USB drive.

This is a very clugey way to keep shareport working but at least it does not take long to reinstall .94.

I did download 1.15 this morning but have not had a chance to test it.
