I have 2 PC's both running XP SP2 (one Home - one Pro). They are connected to a single USB Printer via a manual USB Switch. On one of the PC's you can plug the switch into any USB socket and it's immediately recognised as a Mass Storage Device and USB Printer Support etc. in Hardware Device Manager. On the other PC (a quite new Dell Dimension 3100) the switch is only recognised using one of the two FRONT USB Ports - on any of the four REAR USB Ports it is reported as an 'Unknown device'. I have tried deleting the device and reinstalling but to no avail.
Why only the FRONT Ports work? How can this be and is there a fix?
