I do tons of remote desktop and have been experiencing problems on 1.31 getting to my client sites which are all DIR-655s A1-A4 1.21s and 1.31s.  I will install the 1.32b later today to see if I get a different result.  Thanks for keeping the updates coming to the best consumer/SOHO router out there.

1.32NA Beta 01 does not resolve my dual Gigabit lan issue.  If the lan that is not connected to the router is disabled then the Shareport Utility will show my WD MyBook.  However when both lans are active no device is found by the utility.

I use one of my LANs with a switch for my HDHomeruns (HDTV Tuners) and the other with the router.  The HDHomeRuns use a timed out IP (169.)

I really don't know what the conflict is but that particular problem does not seem to be a firmware issue but rather a utility issue to me.

I haven't gotten around to see if it fixed any of the wireless problems I was having yet so i'll play with that some and report back in a few days
Below is ths specs for the system i'm having these issues with.  Also the load for the router is below as well.  I only am putting all of this info on here because I know that there aren't many people thathave this configuration.  My house is very Intergrated with automations so it is important to have stable router to perform the required funtions


Thanks

Port Forwarding is not working here on my DIR-655 A2 with FW 1.32b01.

BitTorrent: All entries are right but BT is not working. The log shows blocked incoming requests on "open" ports.

I switched back to 1.31NA... and... it's working again.

BT is working OK ith 1.32beta !
Not every "blocked incoming..." means that the port is blocked and BT isn't working....You're jumping to conclusions here.

Hmmm... I tried most of the 655 FW since 1.11, all with manual configuration, but this BT "failure" happens the first time to me.

@armyb77

Make sure that it is not Vista that is the problem
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center
2. Open "Manage Network Connections"
3.  Open the "Advanced" menu -> Advanced Settings
4. If necessary change the order of connections so that your router net is the first.



Sorry  picture is in german but it looks the same.

If this doesnt help, try to enter the IP address of your router in the shareport tool menu


It also works if there is more than one router

Well considering we TELL you not to upgrade firmware or even configure the router with anything other then IE, this behavior doesn't surprise me. Firefox should work, but the fact that it's installed on a Mac still is a cause for concern.

So the box states that you need IE on a PC to configure the router, or do you find that out after purchase?

Currently, I have no PCs available to me, so I guess I will not be flashing any time soon...

EDIT: I just checked the firmware release notes, and it makes no mention of using Internet Explorer on a PC. The firmware download page makes no mention of this either. It's possible that I missed it, so could you point me to where this is stated?

[armyb77]

lizzi555,

Thanks for the suggestion.  It did not resolve my problem however I hooked up my old linksys WRT-54G instead of the switch for the HDHomeruns so that DHCP would be used to assign an IP address to them.  Anyways long story short that was the fix.  The WD MyBook shows up on the Shareport Utility no problem now.  

I had already done the second suggestion you gave but not the first one so I tried it out before putting the router on the HDHomeRuns but it just wasn't working.

Thanks again for your help though.  I don't know that I could really say this is a utility problem it could be the HDHomeRuns conflict with the Shareport when using an internal IP rather then one assigned from a DHCP.

thanks,
Armyb77

Any screen shots/packet captures/ or evidnce at all of WHS failing to work properly with 1.3X+ firmware would be a great help.

If I get chance this weekend I will put WinPCap and wireshark on my WHS and trace it. Would you like it tracing with a filter on?

[aljimenez]

I am using 1.22 right now. Can i install 1.32Beta or do I need to go sequentially with 1.3, 1.31? Is the B and G support included in 1.32?  (I still have some old B devices)

[lizzi555]

you can directly flash to 1.32 and 11b is included.
But remember: you can't go back to 1.2x firmware.

Ummm.. the instructions on how to install firmware state this:-

Step 2: Once you´ve downloaded the firmware, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape and enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Let's be fair - that is NOT a statement that only IE should be used, and "such as" could be interpreted that browsers like Firefox are an option.

[EddieZ]

Nowadays it really does not matter which mainstream browser you use. That's all things of the past.

[sandman]

I would have thought so too, but Lycan stated otherwise.

[EddieZ]

It's a good way to limit the scope of potential issues. There has been a case of someone using FF 3.5 beta, crating havoc about an issue that was solved by moving to a non-beta version...
