1. SharePort 1.10 never work on my Vista Ultimate x64 with the 1.30 by itself. It requires the following tweak:

• Turn on Advanced/Advanced Network/"Enable Multicast Streams" on the router
• Open SharePort utility, go to Options/Search for Device Servers and add 192.168.0.255 (your multicast ip if the router is 192.168.0.1)

That's all to make it work! The description for Options/Search for Device Servers is misleading in this case.
I consider this to be bug, but who cares if it works!

2. It's been already mentioned in a couple of places that restore settings doesn't quite work after firmware upgrade - you can get wireless disconnects problem which is incurable. So I just manually configured all settings. It's been a few days and it works just FINE for me!!!

3. I never have been abusive anywhere in my life. But on this forum I've been recently locked out as ARBALET for "ABUSIVE TONES"! I even could not see the forum from my home location; changing  dynamic IP doesn't help either  So I have to use TOR to register as another user and to tell you about this fix.

4. Dear Dlink, please be professional, I'm your sincere and loyal customer who reported the problems and the intolerable state of things for last 6 month. For this, and for this only, I've been rudely locked out.
Please, unlock my IP/MAC and my User name ARBALET as it is unfair and unfounded.

Best Regards,
edinorog for ARBALET

I can confirm the SharePort 1.10 doesn't work without fix only on Vista x64.
On my Vista 32 bit virtual machine on a host Vista x64 SharePort is fine - no fix needed.

So this is a bug on Vista x64. Use the above workaround for x64 only.

Cheers

It's not a bug. Shareport works for me and I didn't have to do those things. Vista Ultimate 64bit, FW 1.30, shareport 1.10

Let me add to this. I have DIR-655 version 2. And it DOES NOT work w/ SharePort 1.10 unless multicast enabled on the router and (for Vista x64 only) multicast address xxx.xxx.xxx.255 added to the SharePort utility as described above. I've seen other people reporting this too, so this is for them.

You are the lucky one! Please, report your router version so Dlink can pin point the culprit.

Ok I have hardware version A4 so maybe it just happens with A2. I had problems with shareport myself but the problem was solved by rebooting the router from the web interface (not hard reboot).

I'm just going to keep this in this thread, but it looks like the utility *may* support camera's connected to the gateway. I don't have a usb camera to check, but if someone does, if you are bored, do you want to try it out?

[EddieZ]

Yep, tried it but did not work. The USB connection is not designed for this kind a datastream. FYI This was already communicated when the first beta of Shareport was delivered.

EddieZ you upgraded to the new firmware and shareport 1.10? I was using reshacker and noticed icons pertaining to different types of connections. The only reason that I can think of as to why they would include icons were for the application to display the type of device it detects. An icon of a webcam was among one of them, that's why I asked.

[EddieZ]

I have not updated to the new firmware and Shareport. It's very well possible tyhat the new version does support (some) webcams (a lot of USB webcams do not even function with webcam-capable routers) . The old version has not seen a working webcam though.
