Okay, after having read numerous posts with no success, I found something that works for my new dir-628 with a house full of macbooks.

I downloaded the latest firmware as of July 2009 from this link:

ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir628/Firmware/dir628_fw_122NA.zip

After installing that, I then used the virtual link software and was able to connect with my printer and share it amongst the other computers.  You'll have to tweak with the settings a little bit, so that the computers will automatically connect only when printing (then it will automatically disconnect as well), and leave it available for others in the house.

This is a lot more work than what I was used to with years of using an Apple Airport Extreme, but then again, I guess I got what I paid right?

I'm having the same problem as arkaska. SX Virtual Link returns the following error:

"No device servers were found on the network.
Make sure your device servers are set properly."

Has anyone found a way around this problem? I'm using a DIR-625 (C2, v3.08). I understand that Shareport doesn't yet work with the 625, but I was under the impression that the Silex utility would. But I simply can't get it to work. Any ideas?

(Works fine on the PC, btw...)

I found that I could get around the non-detection issue by enabling my dir655's IP as a broadcast address. Magically, the attached Hard drive was found. Now if I could only get it recognized outside of SX Virtual Link and/or Shareport on more than an intermittent basis.
