Problem with cut & paste and dragging files, from primary to secondary only

from Stardock Forums

I'm using Multiplicity version 3.44.90 on both PCs, in a domain network. Everything was fine until the network guys made a change over the weekend and moved my secondary PC to a different subnet / IP address. Once I got everything reconfigured, sharing my keyboard and mouse works OK, sharing the clipboard and dragging files works from the secondary to the primary; however, trying to share the clipboard or drag a file from the primary to the secondary fails and can hose up the PC.

I've gone through the Window firewall settings on both PCs as per FAQs - maybe I missed something? The fact that the problem is in one direction only may indicate what the problem is to someone who knows more than I do.

Appreciate help with this.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I suspect not a new subnet for each PC or MP would not work at all without some custom IP routing / VPN (to get them on a shared subnet).

And when the firewall is back on, ensure that both are Private / Domain, not public:
