Secondary computers via Ethernet (Q about "Connections from subnet..." option)

from Stardock Forums

I wanted a more stable connection so I connected all 3 of my computers (host + 2 secondaries) via Ethernet cable and disabled Wifi. That seemed to break Multiplicity (KVM 3.57 00103.kvm same version on all) >> the HOST could be on Ethernet only (or Wifi), but the Secondaries would only connect if they were on Wifi.

After playing around, the fix *seemed* to be:

  1. On Secondary computers, unchecked the radio box for "Only allow connections from the subnet this computer is on", and
  2. Deleting and re-adding the 2 Secondaries from the Host's "Seamless" grid menu

Questions:

  • Was this the correct solution? I don't like changing options (esp Security ones) without knowing what they do.
  • What does the "Only allow non-routeable addresses" radio box beneath the one I changed do, and should I enable it?

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

The 1st thing that comes to mind is that one \ all is using a VPN connection so there are multiple subnets.

In any case, there is no 'security threat' if you control the local network.
