Yes , the secondaries are in fact servers in the true sense of the word. they accept connections from a client running on the primary .. the service should be installed on the secondary and running. also , did you check your listening ports with (netstat -n -a) on the secondary like i asked some days ago ? there should be a line exactly like this in the list: TCP 0.0.0.0:30564 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING if nothing is
can't you use the Eventfilter program located in the multiplicity dir , to disable the keys you want to use as broadcast keys. then use those keys only with your broadcast software?
same here have a look if the service is running when you say sees , do you mean it detects it's resolv name? or do you mean you can telnet to the multiplicity port from he primary? also do a netstat -n -a on the secondary to see if porrt 30564 is in a listening state. While i'm waiting for a solution i added an old harddrive to the computer that's not working with the new version , and am installing vista on it as i speak. when the problem gets fixed i'll jus
There are no BSOD's It reboots right after the blue login screen appears , you know , the one with the icon , the name , and the editbox to type in your password.. The service just isn't there after install. No entries related to multiplicity in event viewer. If I don't have a solution in 2 or 3 days , I'll install a virgin windows on that computer and see what gives from that .
I have no idea how to get the 1.21.017 stand alone installer. I presume they are the same files , though right clicking on the exe and checking version information tells me it's 1.2.1.0 on all computers .. impulse confirms the installs as being .017 and needing no upgrade. A way to get out of the loop is to start up in vga mode ( i know it's strange) ive repeated this with the nvidia beta drivers and the whq drivers and an older driver i had on the install cd , the same each ti
After I installed version 1.21.017 of multiplicity earlier today , it worked great on 2 of the computers , when i got to a 3rd everything didn't go so well... That computer has XP64 installed and runs on an amd X2 5200 , has a 7040 mb integrated video card(i use that computer for mail , chat , and a few small things) it's pretty new too. The previous version worked just fine , 1.21.015 i think it was , but after i upgraded to 017 using impulse , the computer rebooted , and kept reb

Same problem starting. 2 of my 3 machines work fine , after i installed version .017 on my 3rd that computer kept rebooting.. i had to restart in vga mode (i know it's strange) and uninstall by hand .. the service didnt even install either.. The computer in question is runing XP64 on a athlon X2 . After uninstalling the new beta , and installing 1.21 over it , i started getting the disconnect messages. with any version of multiplicity i still have on my computer the pr
Fixed in 1.21.017 , Don't download any of this

1B is the escape key [link="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms927178.aspx"]http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms927178.aspx[/link] it means your system thinks your are permanently pressing your escape key.(stuck in keydown position) When i keep my finger on my escape key , drag n drop doesn't work either :) so i suggest you check out if there's any strawberry jam under that key or something /grinn.. .. if it's a software problem , press
run this , and check if any keys are stuck when it happens. the numbers in the right columns should all either be 01 or 00 when you're not pressing anything. http://vasilkovsky.dommel.be/Keytest.zip
control alt backspace works for me on vista .. I use Vista ultimate 64 , on one of my secondaries. try with all your control and alt keys Right control + alt backspace doesn't work , but Left control does.. maybe it's that ..
I came across something quite nice while looking for a winusb skeleton today , It's called usb-over-network , and that made me think .. why doesn't multiplicity take this ting one level lower , and avoid all the hassle of incompatibility , game problems , etc etc etc and do the same.. Use multiplicity 's screen edge hacks for switching , but instead of sending keyboard information through the network , transfer the entire usb device. It wo
can you manually put the services on start ..? start->control panel->administrative tools->services select the service , right click properties , startup type : select automatic. --- Did you by any chance play with msconfig ??? if yes.. start->run msconfig , and make sure , if you use selective startup , that 'load system services' is selected

Like Zubaz just said , your computer or network is blocking the connection .. (you don't need a telnet service running , telnet is basically the lowest form of tcp socket communication , you can telnet to html : 80 , irc , ftp ,basically anything(tho you wont be able to read what you get , not send correct reply's by hand , you should be able to get a connect to any listening port every time)) . to check if multiplicity is actually listening on port 30564 : on the secondary:<br
Replace bueno.exe in your program files with this one , and the delays between pushing the media buttons and the action happening should be removed. [link="http://vasilkovsky.dommel.be/bueno.zip"]http://vasilkovsky.dommel.be/bueno.zip[/link]

Why: The primary instance of multiplicity makes no difference between the
You can update your secondaries through impulse http://storage.stardock.com/files/Impulse_setup.exe install , add your key for multiplicity , and it will update.
In the multiplicity directory in program files there is a tool called EventFilter run it (on primary) , and add the push to talk key (and other hotkeys you might use in vent/ts) to the default exception list (the add button on the bottom , not the top one) Save , restart multiplicity . Run teamspeak on >primary Check if things keep running fine now.. , i'm curious if this will help. Kind regards.
Irrelevant now. Issue is fixed.

For people that want to repeat this experiment: I've added the program that reads the keyboard state buffer http://vasilkovsky.dommel.be/Keytest.zip Run it on both Primary and Secondary ,click in the window , and press buttons on your keyboard or mouse , you will see the values change , ( the left value is the Virtual_Key code , the right is the content) For media keys , on secondary , all the keys will default to Virtual_Key FF , which is actually reserved i think..<br
maxivista is something entirely different from multiplicity.. It's basicaly a way to use a spare computer as an extended desktop.. ^^^^--- 6 screens 1 computer Multiplicity is a software kvm switch.. ^^^^^--- 6 screens 6 computers yada yada yada.. check your network , if you can telnet one of the secondaries on port 30564 from your primary , and you're still unable to connect with multiplicity , then you could have a problem.. else it's network issues.

I've checked what the problem could be.. On the primary i am running Ethereal , to check packets between Primary and secondary.. I noticed that byte 10 in some of the packet contains the character in Scan code if byte 14 is equal to 00 or 02 () 00 for keydown , and 02 for keyup . I also noticed that the media related buttons generate virtual-key codes if byte 14 is 01 or 03 , again , 01 for keydown and 03 for key up.. So far so good , the server instance of multipl
If you have rights to SSH to your hp box you can set up a tunnel there using a ssh client on your secondary . http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/Port_Forwarding.html (just some googled diagram , you'll get the idea if you read it) You can map a server port on the host your ssh client is connected to .. then have your primary connect to that mapped port on the ssh server 'what you call hp box' , the data will be transfered to a port and ad
