Multiplicity Pro and Vista 32 bit.

Hi there!

I just recently installed Vista Business Edition (fresh install, not upgrade) and cannot get my 2 machines to see one another now.

The primary is Vista with the secondary being XP Pro. I run advanced firewalls but have them configured to allow port 30564. I even tried with the software firewall of each machine disabled on the respective machine still to no avail.

I remembered reading that Stardock apps require admin privileges when installing. On my install of Vista I have UAC completely disabled. Am I correct in that this does not automatically mean I have admin status? I'll uninstall and try installing again to be sure.. Question though: I am installing Multiplicity from within SDC.. This means that I'll need to launch SDC with admin status correct?

I'll post the results of my reinstall here.

Thanks!

I downloaded the standalone version of 1.19 and ran the setup via right clicking > Run As Administrator and met with the same result even with both firewalls off.

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.

If you still get stuck send us a ticket at support@stardock.com and we can take this further.
