Shareport HELP
« on: December 05, 2010, 05:48:12 PM »
I have a dlink dir 655 for a year now and realized about the shareport utility a few days ago! Anyways, it works fine on my Windows 7 computer, but I am experiencing difficulties on my macbook pro (my primary computer) running Snow Leopard. I was able to download and install the software, but I always run into this error: "No device servers found on the network. Make sure your device servers are set properly". Its also worth mentioning that the utility won't work on a windows virtual machine running on my mac either but it does work on a windows partition made via bootcamp. Please help! I am extremely frustrated because I want to share my USB External Hard Drive via the network for boot camp and my usb printer. ??? ??? ???

Hey I am not sure if this helps, but I just posted this to another page because it worked for me.

best of luck.....

Macrugger- Thanks so much for the tips! It worked for me!

Everyone Else- If you are still having trouble and haven't already done so- I suggest you give Macrugger's method a try. Here is his instructions as posted above. I think the key step was deleting the printer in system preferences/printers, first- which I had not done previously.

For the record here is my setup (and this was done on June 14th 2011):
macbook pro 6,2 intel core i7 2.66GHz
OSx snow 10.6.7
Wireless Router N Range booster D-link DIR-628
Router Hardware version A2, Firmware Version 1.25NA (Downloaded from D-link site- search 'DIR 628')
Printer Cannon MP280
Software/App SX Virtual Link (downloaded from link in the instructions Below)


Pre Instructions:
If you have been trying without success I suggest you do the following before starting.
-Uninstall all versions of SX Virtual Link that you have installed. (use the uninstaller provided, or use appzapper  http://www.appzapper.com/)
-Uninstall all versions of D-Link Shareport that you installed. (same methods)
-delete all installation files of the above as to prevent confusion or mistakes (+empty trash)
-Close all, and restart.



1.A  In the System Preference in Mac, delete your printer.
1.B  Restart.
2.  Download and use Silex utility rather than the d-link re branded version.  Much more stable.

2.B  restart.
3.  Start your printer first, open the utility and connect, print your document.
3.  To go from printing a document to scanning a document, you must disconnect the link, turn off the printer, and start again.  The utility does not work well with multifunction devices.

Hope this helps.
