If your computer runs windows vista 64bit or the new windows 7, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It will not work. Since this is a bi-directional server, you must install a virtual USB port on each oomputer. This software will not install on 64bit computers. You are then left with sending your print jobs to the servers IP address which is a) one way only so forget about that fancy printer/scanner you have and b) will not work anyway. This unit refuses to work as a traditional print server. The box and web site both say vista supported. I called customer service and spoke to a level 1 tech. He did not know what a print server was. Level 2 was no better. Level 3 began to tell me how I could set it up on a TCP/IP port. I explained I wanted the bi-directional function I PAID FOR, and he said he thought he had a solution and would call back in a hour. That was three days ago.

Before you buy this product check to make sure your computer is not working on Vista's 64 bit operating system. Seems most PCs these days are being sold with Vista 64 bit but this product DOES NOT SUPPORT this operating system. My HP computer is fairly new and after 4 calls to India, I was told "NO DRIVERS ARE AVAILBALE FOR VISTA -64 bit". I wondered, "how can a company such as Linksys sell a product that will NOT run on million of new PC's being sold these days ?" It's like selling me a new car and telling me it "runs on a special fuel that is not available". So what do you do with this product once you've bought it and NO where does it say " This product does not run on Vista 64 bit PCs" ?. I suggest potential buyers read the LINKSYS forum regarding this product. The frustration voiced here is a "MUST READ". I remain shocked that a quality company like Linksys would be so "ill prepared" selling a product to unsuspecting buyers with no DRIVERS available". The product manager should be embarassed. Buyers .....Beware ...... If you have infinite time and patience this product is for YOU.
