Rapidly dropping connection

I've been using Multiplicity Pro 1.05 or a couple of weeks now, but I've suddenly started running into a problem.

I'm using a desktop as the main box and a laptop as a slave. It doesn't matter is I'm using a wireless connection or a wired one.

What's happeneing is that there is a connection to the laptop, I'm typing away or moving the mouse with out any problem, when suddenly control retuens to the desktop. If I move the mouse back to the laptop it reconnects without any trouble, and will work again for something between 2s and 10 minutes or so. I've reloaded Multiplicity several times and rebooted the machines, all with no real affect.

Any suggestions, is there anything that I can do to help diagnose this?

If there is indeed a problem when 2 machines are not on the same version, wouldn't it also be an idea to add a warning box alerting the user of that fact?

This came up once before in a thread . . . It would be great if on detection a window popped and said something to the effect of "Versions don't match. Would you like to upgrade?"

The original 1.02 never disconnected on me either. It was a couple betas in that this started happening to me, and happened as soon as that version was installed (sorry, don't remember the exact version). Basically right after I finished the trial and bought Pro (although it happened on the standard version as well, it seemed to have more to do with the version number). The problem started creeping back in earlier today, but updated to the new beta (installing on the secondaries first) and it seems to be fine for now.

I was having this issue, reinstalling Multplicity on secondary solved it

(I was/am running 1.0.5 on both systems)
