Multiplicity Demo not connecting

Hi;

Downloaded the demo for this great program a couple of days ago. I configured the primary computer and secondary computer without incident.
Since then, I swapped the secondary computer, installed the software on the new secondary only to have multiplicity not recognize the new secondary computer.
I have eliminated the first computer as secondary, have even turned it off, but to no avail.

I'm a guaranteed buyer if I can get this thing to work. Please help

1) Is the new pc set as the pc to switch to seamlessly?

2) Does MP have the right IP address?

3) Does the new PC have a firewall blocking connections?

Thankyou for the replies.

Neal:

1) Yes...Im not sure how to set the seamless part though

2)It appears to. I did a release and renew ip and my isp gave me a new ip address. It seemed to partially connect at that point. However, since my ip is static, it defaulted back to the old one and I have had problems with it since.

3)firewall could be the source of the problem. If I turn the firewalls off, then it has started working. In fact, specifically, when I turn the secondary computers firewall on (its the windows firewall), multiplicity stops.

There are 3 multiplicity firewall programs and services on the secondary computer: multiplicity which has the multiplicity exe file in it; multiplicity port and multiplicity service. all of them seem to be setup correctly to the best of my knowledge.

This thing is driving me nuts

Situation has been solved.

I downloaded the free version of zonealarm, set the security at medium and that did the trick.
