Does that mean Shareport is now no longer a feature of the dir-655 A3? I have identical assus motherboards with marvell 1G nic. hardwired Ethernet cables to the DIR-655 and a Brother HL2040 laser printer.

Running Windows 7 RC fresh install

What do I replace to make shareport work like it did with this equipment and software before firmware 1.30 ?

I am getting the connection available issue and the 2 pages prints 10-15  blank/partial pages issues when using shareport.

Printer to PC via USB prints perfectly using its same driver and usb cable.

You could try setting Shareport to "Auto connect for printing" and extend the time before Shareport disconnects after the printjob to the max. setting (30 sec). Possibly the printerdriver 'hesitates' with the data that is sent to the printer and Shareport disconnects because it sees no data. A static PC-Printer connection will not suffer from this. Don't know for sure, but might do the trick.

Which version of shareport are you talking about?
Do you have the working DIR-655(A3 or A4) FW 1.3x + Shareport 1.10?
May I know your hardware configuration and status?

Spent $100 on a new printer to see if the problem still exists, and it does. Had a MP780 now an Epson TX200 same issues.

Yesterday I spent 75 minutes on the phone with Dlink tech support.

I finally reached a high enough level tech who said he is familiar with the problem and resolved it on his own pc/router.

We hard reset, unplugged, and restored the router. We shut off my PCs firewall (Vista). We reinstalled shareport.

We restarted and hibernated my PC just to make sure.


And you guessed it.

Shareport worked...

...for a few hours.


(On my second PC (Win7) also reinstalled Shareport, but before the hard reset - and that didn't do anything until we shut off the router.)


Because of all the actions we did, the only one that was relevant was unplugging the router which apparently resets something in the router which then allows Shareport to work.

Firmware bug. Definitely.

Hello,

I have the same problem on my A2 revision. I have made some tests and I can't see what is wrong. I even tested by requesting the printers on 2 computers exactly in the same time. One had the printer, and the other couldn't. (so it is probably not a dead lock).
When I have the problem, one computer (1) has the message telling that it is trying to do a connection (so the problems seems to be there between the request of the lock, and the losk is accepted) and on the other computer (2), I have a message telling that the printer is used by another computer (the computer 1).
The printer is "Epson Aculaser C900".
I don't use WIFI at all (disabled). If someone want, I can post a backup of my configuration
Also, all was fine with the firmware 1.21.


Thank you
Marc

The SDK is less the problem here. More then likely I would blame the updated Shareport that was added in to the firmware before release.

However I am aware of the troubles being faced but so many of you. We are not ignoring you, however I am currently working to isolate and resolve the DNS Relay issue in this firmware, once that is done I can focus on shareport.

We will get this hammered out.

That is a fair response.  Glad to see you guys acknowledge issues.  Love my DIR-655 and DNS-323.

It is yes. Thank you for that.

Anyways, today when my shareport lost connection to my media tablet (connected but not working), i turn shareport utility off, unplug media tablet from router, and start shareport utility again. No usb devices connected to the router and yet shareport show my media tablet available. Try to connect, it will and say connected, but after few seconds it return to available status again.
It seems like shareport utility are not talking with router at all.

Maybe this mean something, maybe not..

Have had shareport working for 48 hrs:

I turned off Advanced DNS Service in the router config and Auto connect in Shareport config.  Doesn't make sense that the former would affect anything, but I am open to fantasy at this point.  Can someone verify this?  I have been able to manually connect from my W7 RC1 over many attempts where previously it failed.

Update - Working now for 72h.  Proceeding to test with Auto Connect enabled.

Sadly, my 655 has always had advanced dns disabled and i have had no success =(

Party's over - once I tried to connect my wireless netbook, it caused the whole system to go back to its old ways. 

[DevNet]

Update - Working now for 72h.  Proceeding to test with Auto Connect enabled. 

Working for me 24 hours now, I just ENABLE Advance DNS on the router ,Reboot and still working.

My Advanced DNS was always off. Thus it is not related with this issue.
