No longer works

from Stardock Forums
Hello,I had multiplicity working just fine prior to the 1.2 release. I have two Vista machines, one x64, primary, and one x32, secondary. No matter what I try firewall wise, recreating passwords etc, the Primary never connects to the Secondary. When you setup the Primary so it knows who the secondaries are the connect does find the secondary but alas no connection ever takes place after that. It's been like this for a while now just hadn't gotten around to asking for help! I do have a MS Intellipoint wireless mouse on the primary which is new. I did install the drivers onto the secondary thinking that might help but of course I only have one MS Wireless mouse. Not sure if this is the cause or not.Cheers, Dominic

Hi All,
sorry to bring up an old thread, i am having issues with the primary and secondary reporting they are both working and won't connect, after some investigation, it seems if i bring up a secondary network interface on my secondary pc (ie vpn, vmware adapter) multiplicity just won't connect at all, check to see if you have multiple interfaces on your secondary, and if you do, try disabling them

Note: i have multiple interfaces on my primary and it works fine.

Is this a know bug, or somewhat limited ?

Also i used the private address space in 172.16-32, when you click allow from private addresses only, it wouldn't connect (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html for more information on the private address space rfc).

are both of these in the works to get fixed for the next version ?

There is a current update. What version are you running Multiplicity on? Are all computers on the same version?

I just upgraded to 1.21 and am cannot connect to a secondary Vista machine. Troubleshooting the secondary shows "Multiplicity winlogon dll is NOT running". I tried the batch file above with no luck.

i had similar connectivity problems with a vista primary and xp secondary setup. the funny thing was that my xp secondary box is actually a multiple boot box with xp setup with different apps for different uses, but multiplicity worked fine on one partition and not another. i made a bunch of changes trying to figure out what the problem was and finally narrowed it down to the problematic installation also having microsoft's user-mode driver framework installed. i removed it, and everything works fine.

the symptoms i had were as follows: i'd get connectivity right after an install, but as soon as i rebooted the secondary computer, i wasn't able to connect to multiplicity on that install again. i'm speculating that a new install bypassed the user-mode driver framework when intially installed, but that upon rebooting, the user-mode driver framework was able to hook in and cause the issue.

had the same problem, after deinstalling the trial version, and installing the 1.21 version i couldnt connect anymore (before i could using trial). After running that bat file I could get it working again
