Finding Secondary Computers

from Stardock Forums

Hi Peeps, I had this working with a secondary machine, but had to reformat windows. On the reinstall of multiplicity, it is not seeing the other machine. Which is plugged in side by side on the network switch.

I see where MP is searching a 100. sub net, but think the secondary is on 255.255.255.0.

Really don't want to poke around and change the windows setting if I don't have to. Just weird that it worked fine earlier.

MP is searching the Subnet it is on (and only will).  If the Secondary is not on the same subnet, it will not find it.

If the Secondary is on the same subnet, but is connected to a VPN that does not allow for split-tunneling, it also will not find it.

Thank you for the fast reply. Both should be on the same, as I have not changed in either. 

When using ipconfig on both systems, I have 255.255.255.248 on the primary and 255.255.255.0 on the secondary. It's in MP that I see tit says searching 100.127.13.*
