Dir-625 rev A1 1.07 08 and 09(tried several)
Shareport ver. 1.14 1.15 and 3.0

Cannot connect anything; but, mainly trying to connect an HP 5610v. Running Win7 x64 HP. I'm guessing we need a new bios.

I have a DIR-655, upgraded to Shareport to 3.0 and firmware to 1.33NA.  I have shareport time before disconnecting after print job is sent to the max of 300 sec. However, when sending a print job, it hangs after 2-3 seconds and will not print.  I have to cancel the print job and restart my computer every time.  This shareport does not work at all.  It's been since last year since this hasn't worked correctly.  I don't see why Dlink can't seem to fix the issues.  I'm going to blog about this so that people can stay away from Dlink.  Now, I'm probably going to have to purchase a new wireless router with a different brand.  I wish I could have stayed with my old firmware of 1.21 and shareport SharePort v1.15.9.  It worked perfectly.

DIR-655 Hardware Version: A2 Firmware Version: 1.33NA Usb Device HP Office Jet Pro OS: 3 WIN7 64 - 2 XP 

Have been using SharePort in various versions with generally good results.  Installed 3.0 after installing Win 7 64. Have the problem many are having - works for awhile then attempts to connect constantly and fails.  Get message that the printer did not disconnect properly.  Tried various settings but none seem to work.  Attempted various firewall solutions with to no affect.  Only solution that works consistently is to reboot router.  Not a great solution since someone is always online doing something critical just when I need to print.  Is it possible that the router is locking out the device?

DIR-635 Hardware Version: B3 Firmware Version: 2.32EU (2009/07/10).

USB-devices: One Brother HL-2040, and two external harddrives.

Tried to upgrade from 1.15.9 to 3.0, but now I get no connection at all with any of the devices. The printer worked fine before, but I had very unstable connection to the harddrives. But now I get nothing. (That's stable, at least... ;) )

I tried rebooting the router, and I have restarted my laptop (Vista Business 32-bit).

I can still connect to the printer on my netbook (Win 7 Home Premium), but the harddrives are sometimes detected and sometimes not, and when they are connected they are not always shown as a drive in Windows.

Guys,  if Shareport doesn't work for you try the original SX Virtual Link by Silex. Here's the link on one of the forums/blog.

http://www.techgremlin.com/2009/08/20/d-link-shareport-update/

Here's my current config.
- DIR-655 FW 1.33NA (main router) <---- DI-524 (as access point, connected to main router)
- SX Virtual Link Version 3.4.0 (check out the link in techgremlin for info)
- HP C4280 printer
- Windows Vista Home Premium

My current uptime is 4 days 7 hours. No hassle so far thanks to virtual link (w/c is the original SharePort). My shared printer on the router works great and performs the way it suppose to; printer, USB stick, External HDD all detected in all workstations.

D-link Dir 625/(Rev.c)/3.08(latest but from 02.2009; Guys you forgot about us? We need update)
D-link SharePort Version 3. 0/ D-link DSL 200(Rev.C) usb modem and HDD WD 500Gb 5000AAG
Windows 7 64bit, intel wifi 5100 wireless card

Basically I think without the new firmware Dir 625Rev.C won't  work wit SharePort 3.0, since SharePort ver. 1.15 worked pretty well for me(at least for the HDD, but not for D-link 200C DSL usb modem, which disconnected almost every 5 minutes(the longest time it stayed connected was less than an hour ) and thus prevented me from stable connection to the internet). Now SharePort 3.0 doesn't see any device at all, no matter what I do( I mean everything described here and elsewhere on forums starting from disabling ports and Firewall altogether and finishing with synchronizing router time with the system's one)
I was expecting better stability with D-link 200C from SharePort 3.0, but I guess it won't even work without new firmware.

I would like to try Shareport 3.0 but I can not find it on the DLink website.  I only find version 1.15.  Can you provide a direct link to the download?  I tried the link in the sticky and was not successful.  Thanks!

Well I tried SX Virtual Link , DIR-655, HW A4, FW 1.33NA, WIN7 64, and I was able to connect for decent periods of time. Able to transfer 15G of files to a USB hard drive.
Still flaky though and a reboot is sometimes necessary but certainly better than the Shareport version 3  SW.
When it doesn't work, SX Virtual sees the USB drive and is available, takes a long time to connect and then the drive doesn't show up in Windows Explorer... that's when I know I have to reboot the Router.
Then it works like a charm.... for a while.

Shareport printing problem, besides disconnects whenever i print, the printer prints only 1/8th of the page, feeds the page through and does the same thing to the next page.  This doesn't happen when i print directly to the printer by connecting the printer to the computer

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
Dir-825 multicast enabled 1.12A
printer canon 9000 pro or Canon PIXMA Pro9000

@EddieZ: do you not have the "disconnect after time" problems that i (and others) experience?

Only solution that works consistently is to reboot router.

i have the same issue.
printing works fine with all computers on the network, auto-connect from print button, everything works just as advertised.
then after X hours, usually 4-5 or so, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, when trying to print, it just says printer offline. on every computer on the network.
i can still see the printer, but it says it is 'offline'.
i've turned off windows firewalls on all computers, so i know it isn't that.
power cycling the printer does nothing.
the only thing that works is power cycling the the 655 router, then everything goes back to working perfectly.  but honestly, that is really annoying to have to do manually every morning. and sometimes more than once per day depending on how long the printer stays 'online'. constant power cycling can't really be good for the 655 either.

i've already tried the SX Virtual Link software from andrew's post above, but only on one computer on the network. i had the same issues the next morning when trying to print from that computer.
maybe uninstalling shareport on every network computer and then installing the SX on every computer will solve the problem. but since it didn't work on one, i don't see how the other shareport installations on the other networked computers would have any effect.

the other thought i had was that maybe adding a powered USB hub to the 655's usb would keep it "alive" longer since it would be constantly seeing a powered device at the end of the 655 usb port?
long shot, but honestly, i've seen no other better solutions.

guess i'll keep power cycling my 655 until someone figures it out or a dlink person finally addresses the issue. no responses from dlink on this "3.0 comments" thread for over a month really doesn't inspire too much confidence in dlink support.

Win XP Sp3 Dell laptop, and Win XP Media edition desktop with DIR-655, v1.33NA. Tried Shareport 3.0 after trying SX Virtual Link 3.40, same disastrous results. It doesn't matter what devices are connected, they are recognized and connected quickly enough, but after that, every 10 seconds, the software pops up connection error, could not shut down properly, then the router reboots and after two minutes the link returns and reconnects to the devices. Then after 10 seconds, the same scenario repeats until I shut off the software. This is before and after full system cleaning and reinstalling all of .Net 1,2,3 and 3.5, along with Aaron Stebner's .Net cleanup.

I'd like to say it's Dlink's problem, but since the results are identical with the source software, SX Virtual Link, I doubt it.
