Wow, Carlos!

 

This looks like magic? Never heard of that one before.

Hi Tony,

The credit goes to Charlie, who "enlightened" us about this piece of

software some "posts ago".

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

It IS magic. You really should be reading my blog, Tony! ;)

 

Seriously, this is a really cool program, and it WORKS. Suddenly, you have

USB support inside Hyper-V (Or Virtual PC or Virtual Server)

 

They had an issue with the driver signing, so hopefully this update fixes

that. But this _works_, and works well. The best part is, you don't actually

need a driver at all for the host side. Only the actual client needs to have

drivers for whatever USB device is plugged in at the server.

Thanks, Carlos. On my way to get it. Hopefully, this solves the signing

issue.

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

Hmmm, I think I will. My 'bad' excuse is the prodigal machinery. It has been

gone for so long that I feel alienated, having it back. I think I will zap

the whole thing and start all over and skip the dual-boot and set up XP x64

with Hyper-V and explore it's wonders. May take me a while, though.

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

Ah, got it back. Good. Will it do Hyper-V? (requirements are: 64-bit (duh),

execute disable bit on, and hardware virtualization.) It's that last one

that might be an issue. Otherwise, you're going to need VMWare or some

other virtualization solution that doesn't require the VT/Pacifica

capability.

 

Hyper-V is my life these days. This desktop and my laptop are the only

non-virtual machines left. Everything else is moving to virtual. And I'd

move this desktop, but it's only got an Opteron 175 in it - no hardware

virtualization.

Though USB over a network sounds interesting...

the outfit needs to come up with a better example on their video.

 

VIZ: Using a scanner at a remote location hardly seems practical!

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

Yes, they ended up exchanging every bit of it except the memory and the

optical drives and it didn't cost me anything beyond a couple of taxi's and

it was actuallly 18 months old, so cannot really complain. Exchanging the

Seasonic actually ended up fixing it. Which is also why I bought the 30"

monitor from them too - it is an Athlon 64 FX-62 sitting in a AM2 socket and

having a Virtualization enableable BIOS - I have 2GB RAM (will be upgrading

to 3GB(or 4?)).

The following is also interesting - USB 2.0 Server

http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/07/10/video-review-iogear-usb-net-sharestation/

There are drivers for both VIsta and XP x64:

http://www.iogear.com/support/dm/driver/GUIP201

 

And here is wireless USB 2.0 server:

http://www.silexamerica.com/sx-2000wg.html

Driver "SX Virtual Link" works in Vista x64:

http://www.silexamerica.com/sx-virtual-link.html

 

BTW, there are other software-only solutions:

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

Seasonic? Hunh - and I've had really good experience with them. Well,

happens, I guess.

 

If you're going to virtualize, I'd put 4 GB in. I'm assuming this is still

DDR memory? if it's DDR2, then you might think about adding 4, to get to 6.

Being more of a Vista problem than anything else, I expect - or,

conceptually, a general nuicance?

Re: Charlie - USB over network new version!

 

More of a Vista (or Server 2k8) problem than anything. It is signed, but

there's a problem with the cert holder, so Windows doesn't like it.

 

It's a problem for me, since I'm using the product to support a USB backup

from my Windows Small Business Server 2008 test bed, which is virtualized on

Hyper-V. And thus has no USB devices. ;)
