Shareport problem with Windows XP
« on: October 11, 2008, 04:19:48 PM »
Hey, new to the forums; I've been having some trouble with my 655 and need some pro's help. Has anyone been able to get shareport to work for windows xp? I have it installed on a vista machine and it works like a charm, but my printer doesn't show up at all for all my other xp machines in the house. can anyone shed any light onto this? thanks!

Hi,

You still have to install the XP printer driver for each PC you run shareport on....Did you do that with your XP pc ?

Hi,

Not that it should matter...but is your wireless adapter USB based ?

I've had absolutely no problem with shareport on both XP (32bit and 64bit)! wired and wirelessly.

I am on Windows XP and the shareport is not working. Problem seems to be with Windows Live One Care. If I turn off the firewall on Live One Care, the shareport works perfectly. With the firewall on the shareport won't even recognize any USB device.

I am currently working with Windows live one care support to see if they can determine what is going on. Apparently I am not the only one have this problem who is using One Care.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks
