Multiplicity looses connection

from Stardock Forums

I have a Vista Ultimate box and a Vista Home Premuim box with Multiplicity installed.   Vista Home is the primary and both connect over a wireless home network.   The primary box looses it's connection during the night when I'm not using the machines.   It's taskbar icon is darkened.   I have to unload and reload Multiplicity for it to reconnect.  

It worked fine for the first four or so days. Can you help with this issue?

Thanks.

Sounds like something is running overnight to interrupt the connection.  MP doesn't know or care what time it is.
Any idea what might be running?

I don't know what would disrupt the connection. I was using Synergy and it would stay connected. I switched to Multiplicity after Synergy decided to not allow the primary to connect with clients.

What security software are you running? Any auto updates or powersave software that would interupt network connections?

I'm using Windows Firewall in Vista on both machines. Multiplicity is configured for the firewall. The only thing that occurs is a screensaver on both machines after 30 minutes. I haven't ever known it to cause problems though.
