I have a vista 64 box wired to my DIR-655 and a HP-6180 printer plugged into the 655's usb port.  When I start the box (not from sleep, just restart), the printer is recognized on SharePort and works fine.  When I put the computer into sleep mode then wake back up, shareport says there is no usb device detected.  I have to restart the computer to get it back.  Any ideas?

It's a Windows issue. Nothing can be done with the current app  to prevent this. More USB devices suffer from this Vista issue, so any suggestions to get Sharepoint solve this instead of Microsoft are idle.

I have two other computers running the application and neither of them have the problem.  One is a windows xp and the otehr is an identical vista machine.

the otehr is an identical vista machine.

Can you, pray tell, let me know how Vista is identical to XP?

Look around in Windows forums and you ill find out that every PC has different hardware combinations that will or will not cause issues. And I guess your PC's are not identical, hardware wise.

I assume he means that the other vista machine is identical to the vista 64 machine he is having the issue with, not the 1 xp machine.

[ttmcmurry]

... the other vista machine is identical to the vista 64 machine...

Can you, pray tell, let me know how Vista 32-bit is identical to Vista 64-bit?

lol XD  I got another +1

[lotacus]

his vista box is 64bit.

and, you can't really say that it's a windows problem unless you know for sure that those shareport drivers are vista certified both x32 and x64, if not, then no one has place to say it's a windows problem.

[EddieZ]

If the drivers load without any tricks or messages the driver is certified.

[lotacus]

I know. I was crummy that day. hah. but anyways, I just installed the utility again despite my strongest effort not to use shareport. Things I do when I'm bored.

Noticed the same problem as before, where the utility will bind to only one adapter and if the adapter is disabled, it will not bind to another adapter. This could be part of his problem, as well and perhaps more likely is that Windows is not reloading the driver back into memory or something.

On a good note though, just so I don't bring up like a six month old thread about performance I noticed it's increased to the same speeds over wirless up to 5MB/s (real-world theoretical) hah if that makes sense.
