Gents, I've reported two bugs in multiplicity and haven't received even a cursory response. X-( https://forums.stardock.com/index.aspx?ForumID=181&AID=95472#756227 https://forums.stardock.com/index.aspx?ForumID=181&AID=95470#756226 These bugs are significant, causing me much headache. They are

Multiplicity resolves a DNS name to a single IP address and then tries to connect to it. This is not proper behavior for a network application. When a machine registers more than one IP Address in DNS, an application should respect all of them and try and connect to each in order. On Windows, the DNS resolve API sorts the IP addresses in 'most likely to connect' order, but it does not guarantee that IPAddress[0] is the only one you need to try.

I've confirmed that multiplicity does not listen on all network interfaces (or have an option to do so). I have a laptop that has both 100BaseT and 802.11b and multiplicity listens only on my 100BaseT interface. Could you please consider fixing this in a future release? This has been discussed in a previous thread, but there has been no comment from Stardock on that thread in a while, so reposting.

Hmm, I can get the user/pass dialog to show up by using Ctrl-Alt-Del and my mouse navigation works, but I'm unable to fill in the username or password with the keyboard. How can I go about trying to diagnose the issue here? I'm running this across two XP SP2 machines, no tablets or anything. Right now I keep a keyboard attached to my secondary PC just for logon.

I specifically turned off "restrict incoming connections" and still had the problem. If I manually disable the wireless network interface leaving only the wired NIC, it works as expected. Certainly sounds like a "not listening on all interfaces or all IP addrs" issue to me

I'd like to use Multiplicity Pro to logon to my secondary machine so that I don't have to keep a keyboard attached to it. I only use my secondary via Multiplicity. Can you support this in the future please?

I've hit the same problem and with a much more common setup. I have a laptop that has both wireless (different subnet) and a wired (same subnet) interfaces. I want to connect from my desktop machine (primary) to my laptop (secondary) when sitting at my desk. Multiplicity, using the infallible logic of most software bugs, always chooses the wrong interface. I agree with previous commenters -- I write networking apps for a living and listening on all interfaces is
