AV is a real Shareport killer. I thought we already covered that ages ago....

[Alexx]

Unfortunatley... The problem is back now. So the method didn't work after all I really thought I had it fixed, but now it wont connect anymore.

Time to reboot my router AGAIN.

Thanks, so it is the firmware then, we have isolated it!

I have this problem too, firmware 1.31 HW:A4.
I tried the regclean and AV procedure, and it kept connection for a little while, but now it wont reconnect again. The only thing that works is a restart of the router.

No not really, uninstalling AV Software was suggested by Lycan, but it doesn't appear to be the root cause.

I many many cases it is (together with firewalls) but this one seems not AV-related. Have you tried renewing your IP stacks / renewing your network driver install?

yes, have you tried 1.31? maybe you will be better to trouble shoot it

Yes I'm running 1.31 and Shareport 1.10 on two wireless laptops, one wireless PC and one wired PC without problems.

This symptom was already present in the old version which was resolved every time I resetted the network connection on the PC (so not rebooting the router).

I am jumping on this thread. I have DIR-655 Firmware: 1.31NA HW:A3. SharePort on Vista mounts the shared drive but on Windows 7 it says you are connected but doesn't mount the drive at all. Both OS's are 64-bit. Anybody running successfully on 7?

Thanks,

AJ

Yep, running the HDD succesfully on W7 x64. It's something on your W7 config. The new UAC limits autorun on external HDD/devices. So you might want to change the UAC settigns.

UAC is on the lower part. As I said SharePort connects to the drive but doesn't mount it. I can browse it as shared from the Vista machine.
I tried configuring WCN with DIR-655, I had no idea where to begin with.

P.S. Never mind I fixed it.

[aben2amu]

I take it back, it stopped working on Win 7. I uninstalled and cleaned the registry, there was some leftovers from D-Link. Installed again, as Vista, Vista SP1 or even SP2, the software installs but not the driver..

[Xinot]

fw1.31 + sp1.10 with wired PC.

Fresh install of XP SP3 with no antivirus + no firewall. = Available but not connecting
Frest install of W7 64bit with no antivirus + no firewall + no UAC = Available but not connecting

So i think problem is shareport and/or firmware.

aben2amu. That's a completely different problem and it's not what this thread is about at all. It is about either not connecting, or connecting for just a few seconds then disconnecting. Rebooting the router fixes it for a short while, so that's nothing like your problem. I don't think you'll get any support from d-link for a beta OS, seing as it works for you in Vista.

Xinot, thanks for that. Now we know a fresh install wont even make a difference to this problem. It really can't be anything but the firmware now. Especially since only 1.30 and 1.31 are affected.

People experienced the same issues with 1.2x.
You might want to reflash your firmware. It might help sometimes
