It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.

I cannot seem to get WireShark to work on windows 7. I downloaded Wireshark portable and I keep getting this error:

Dumpcap has stopped working

and then when WireShark starts, it says:
The NPF driver isn't running. You may have trouble capturing or listing interfaces.

The Event Viewer details say this:

Faulting application name: dumpcap.exe, version: 1.2.0.28753, time stamp: 0x4a3726f3

Nevermind, I figured it out, it has something to do with the beta version of WinPcap (v4.1 beta5); it doesn't seem to work with Windows 7. Although the previous stable version (v4.0.2) seems to work fine with Windows 7... go figure.

@wierdo, what would I be looking for in WireShark? would it specifically say "CIFS" somewhere?

You've gone from a Linksys alternative firmware question to a Microsoft beta operating system question. It is helpful to run a production OS when trying to get help for features.

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."

ok i figured it out. Apparently if I share the entire drive, the sub-directories are not shared to the router ??? I say "to the router" because if I try to access the shared drive from another computer, I am able to access the entire drive and all it's contents.

But for some reason I had to set the shared settings of the "tomato_bandwidth" directory separately from the i: drives sharing properties.

So now instead of giving the path \\192.168.1.XXX\i\tomato_bandwidth ... I set teh shared propeties of the tomato_bandwidth directory separately and set the shared path to \\192.168.1.XXX\tomato_bandwidth

Kinda stupid.

It works now. The shared directory gets mounted.

Great detective work. I agree; since they prompt for "UNC" path they really should have accepted your original version. Did you try it both with and without the terminating slash?

In a realm outside causality and function

well if the second path worked without the terminating slash, then the first path should have as well.

And actually, if I add the terminating slash, after saving the settings, tomato automatically removes it

They should really clarify that screen prompt, then. Maybe "UNC path to share root".
