Works, but will take some work 
2008-04-28
I bought the TRENDnet 2 port print server to replace the existing print server I had, which apparently does not support Vista. The TRENDNet does support Vista (somewhat), but it will take some work to get it working.
First of all, there are 2 modes it works in; a "virtual" directly attached mode, and a more classic server mode. The instructions and the default will step you thru the process of setting it up in the directly attached mode. I got this mode working on some, but not all of the PC's on our wireless network. At that point, I contacted their customer support, and gave them (via email) extensive information on my setup, and asked why it wasn't working on all my networked PC's, and also asked how to set it up in the classic server mode. The response I got was a one line answer to change a setting used when connecting to a disk drive; I was using this for a printer, so this response was useless to me. I gave up on the customer support, and did my own research on the internet to answer all the questions I had on what setting I should use to use this in the classic mode. So, I did get this working in the classic server mode for the printer. I also added a disk drive, and got this to work on all but the Vista PC.
The good:
1) It works (for the most part) with Vista
2) There are 2 modes; the directly attached mode is good if you are the only one using the printer - in this case the printer will work bi-directional. The classic server mode works good if you have muliple people using the printer - in this case everyone can print whenever they want, you just don't get the bi-directional printer feedback.
3) In addition to the printer, you can also hook up a disk drive.
The bad:
1) You may have to figure out your own problems - customer support was not too helpful to me.
2) You may not be able to get disk drives to work with Vista.
It worked first time right out of the box

I have been in the computer business since I opened a computer store back in 1977 and have sold and installed computer and network systems for 30 years. In all of these years this is the first time I have happily wanted to write a review. This product does exactly what they say it will do and worked flawlessly when first installed. Highly recommended!!!
My configuration:
IBM R50 Thinkpad
Windows Vista Ultimate
HP Photosmart C4150 All-In-One
Wireless connection to a Linksys WRT54GC Access Point
TRENDnet TE100-MP2U connected to the WRT54GC Access Point via Cat5 Cable.
Instalation was quick and exactly as outlined in the excelent Quick Instalation Guide. It worked absolutely perfectly the first time I clicked print. Not only that, but as soon as I installed it, it recognized my camera's memory card in the printer slot and poped up the Windows autoplay options to upload the pictures etc.
It printed a 15 page document in exactly the same amount of time as if my printer was directly attached.
I thought the real test would be to bring up a scanning application. I put a document on the scanner and clicked scan in MS Office and up it came! No fumbling with obscure settings, it just worked perfectly the first time.
This product actually does what they say it will do, and does it out of the box.
