Ok... so I, like everyone else cannot get Shareport to work properly. I'm a technology analyst whom often recommends Dlink products. Because of my DIR-655 shareport experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to recommend Dlink for some time.
Dlink, you need to pull yourselves together!
Now... I've given up on the router and replaced it (for this client), but just for the record, I was having a problem not mentioned on the forum yet:
- For a USB Printer: The shareport installation worked fine, and manual connection to the printer was no problem. However, when I went to "Configure" the auto-connect feature, the printer would install properly on the windows system, but then the shareport utility would not recognize that the installation was completed, so the "installing" window would not go away. On a mac, this problem did not exist, and everything worked perfectly. It was just on the XP Pro SP3 machines (yes, more than one). Printer was an HP Laserjet 1300.
With that said, why not go back to the basics, and allow us to use LPR or RAW printing? I understand the shareport has some excellent potential, but speaking as a technology professional, I would much rather have more control over how I network a printer (as opposed to using a silly Shareport utility).
Anyways.... those are my thoughts. I'm not looking for a solution, as I don't have time to work out bugs for Dlink.
