can we now connect a usb hard drive to the dns-323 usb port and use shareport to detect it? i tried and the dns-323 sees the 1tb usb drive but my windows shareport program doesnt detect anything

I actually would like some shareport info as well, I need to use the USB port so i can finally hook up an external USB HD device.  I see the shareport app and have it installed on my client pc, however it does not see the 323.  I suspect this is due in part to no shareport server running on the DNS-323 istelf, making the app useless?  Will there be apkg I can install on my DNS-323 to open the functionality of shareport?

If I could get a usb HD running on my DNS so i dont have to copy my large files over the network it would save me ALOT of time. and i would be mega happy (yup... mega)

Oh, big thanks to D-Link on fw1.08, I appreciate they continue to develop software for my device.

I actually got a sweet PM from another esteemed forum member.  He inidicates the apkg is not yet avail on the US site and provided this link to the UK site.

also I found it on their FTP

Thanks anonymous tipster!

And, or course, he would be wrong.  From the US FTP site:

Sure looks available to me.

Those appear to be the Shareport utility for the PC/Mac side - I think what's missing from the US site is the Shareport APKG, - or are the APKGs included there also?

[gunrunnerjohn]

Interesting question, I thought that was included in the base 1.08 firmware, perhaps I was mistaken?  Perhaps we need D-Link to clarify what is required?

[fordem]

Well - I'm not running the "base 1.08" firmware - but I understand that it is essentially the same as the 1.09 beta - which is what I'm running, and the utility reports no device servers found.

Edit...
Perhaps I should rephrase that -1.09 contains all code up to 1.08b09 - so if Shareport is built in to the base 1.08, it should also be in the 1.09 beta.

[gunrunnerjohn]

I guess we are indeed missing something, that seems like a pretty significant oversight on D-Link's part!

I just downloaded and installed the shareport package from the UK link (since yes its not on the US link) I can now see shareport in the add-ons section of the dns-323 and i started it. But the shareport application on my windows PC doesn't detect anything. Under status in the dns-323 web gui it sees the USB hard drive ... so do we assume this doesn't work? Any one from DLink able to update us here?

[gunrunnerjohn]

I think I'll wait for some folks to get this working.  I can't afford to break my print server function for the DNS-323 right now, the laptops all print to that printer.

[Buhric]

Did one of the moderator said to NOT Download the UK version of Shareport has its not the same has the North America ?

[gunrunnerjohn]

Yep, that was stated a while back...

[perfectdark]

Just deleted it .. so where is the North American version?

But remember, D-Link tech support level 3 also told me , when i couldn't access (access denied) one of my folders on my DNS-323 to just delete the folder .... and how do you delete afolder you have no access too? So i don't 100% trust D-Link tech support

[gunrunnerjohn]

Trust, then verify.

[perfectdark]

just got off the phone with level 3 tech support (in reagrds to a different issue) but i asked them about shreport and the uk shareport file for the dns-323
They were honest and said they are not 100% sure that it was rolled out for US/CAN yet. He will check and call me back within 24-36hrs . If i hear back, i will update here
