WinXP <-> WinVista RTM?

from Stardock Forums
Are there any known issues in terms of connecting a Windows XP machine as primary to two Windows Vista machines? I can't get it to work, even setting one of the Vista machines as primary, it won't connect to the other Vista machine or the WinXP machine. I'm running the latest version, and RTM bits on the two Vista machines. I continue to get "Error: Not a non-routable IP. You need to alter the Multiplicity settings on the secondary machine to allow non-routable IPs." No matter what settings I do, I get the same error. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a workaround? Thanks!

Actually I have Vista on my second machine and it works fine for me. Have you tried the simple things first? Like 

reinstalling? Also do you have any security software that could be blocking the connection?


From the primary machine:

Go to Start->Run and type telnet.exe. In the window that appears, you're going to try and connect to the Multiplicity service running on the secondary pc on port 30564. Type:
open (put ip of the secondary here) 30564
If you do not get a response back like MULTIPLICITYC8032, something is blocking access to the network service on the secondary machine. Probably a firewall setting.

I've run an XP/Vista setup since Beta 2.  I've run with XP as the Primary and with Vista as the Primary.

One thing to check is to make sure that both machines are running the exact same version of Multiplicity.
