Multiple PCs again...

Hi. I'm from Ukraine ... so , sorry for my bad english :)
So... what's the problem :
I'm trying to multiboxing on 2 PCs via WLAN. The windows firewall is disabled on each PC. ( just in case, I opened the ports on each computer too ) .
I was making all configs according to this source - http://isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Use_ISBox ... _Computers (nice guide ;) ) step by step.
And got this configrations - http://www.privatepaste.com/b142741618 (Please , don't look on some characters names :D it's a long story how I called them so )

The main PC OS is Win8 x64 , slave PC - Win 7 x32.

So ... i exported all the settings according to guide. And than tryed to launhc the games ... and what did i see :

On main PC all is ok ! I can see all character Sets in IS . And all 3 windows was launched .

But! Other 3 windows on second PC not started. And this what i've got in console on second PC : http://clip2net.com/s/6ml6eU (screenshot)
And, I also noticed that the ISboxer Toolkit not added my second character set (wich i've created for 2nd PC ) to IS on it (2nd PC)! - http://clip2net.com/s/6ml7at (screenshot)
Also. I even tryed to delete all (or create a new) the sets on 2nd PC and then to export all the settings to IS . And after i restart it - all previous sets still was there! =/ http://clip2net.com/s/6ml8dt

Please, can anyone help me ? I spent almost 7 hours while trying to connect this god damn it PC's =/
Also yo can add me to Skype razorback.ua , I think it will be easier to solve the situation.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Multiple PCs again...

You forgot the Console output on the main PC.

Referring of course back to .. http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1765#p1765
So, first you can watch the console on the second PC as you launch the main set. If nothing at all shows up, then it probably failed to connect at all, and the main PC console will specifically indicate that; this would usually be that either port 10101 is not open on the slave PC in the firewall, incoming connections are not enabled on that PC as per the guide, or outgoing connections are blocked on the main PC by firewall software (e.g. Windows firewall)

The main PC's console will tell you the result of the attempted connection, which failed to connect at all to the second PC because nothing showed up on the second PC. It may not have been able to resolve the second PC's hostname; this will happen if your network, in Windows, is set to Public instead of Private. If they are both on a Private network, then discovery of other PCs is enabled and it can connect by name. Otherwise, you need to enter the IP address of the second Computer in ISBoxer (click on the Computer under Computers, and fill in the IP address box).

And, I also noticed that the ISboxer Toolkit not added my second character set (wich i've created for 2nd PC ) to IS on it (2nd PC)! - http://clip2net.com/s/6ml7at (screenshot)

One screenshot has it called "second" and another has it called "secondary shammys". The console screenshot you gave shows that "secondary shammys" lives on another computer; it makes this determination by comparing the assigned Computer name to what it currently has. So if your console screenshot was from the second PC, then it sounds like you created a Computer for your main PC instead of your second PC! And then your main PC is trying to connect to itself (again, this would show up in the main PC's console), which is why it doesn't launch anything on your second PC.

Also. I even tryed to delete all (or create a new) the sets on 2nd PC and then to export all the settings to IS . And after i restart it - all previous sets still was there! =/ http://clip2net.com/s/6ml8dt

I will confirm this issue: if you delete all your Character Sets, and Export, then the Inner Space menu will still show the previously-exported Character Sets until you re-launch Inner Space. If you re-launch Inner Space after doing this, the ISBoxer menus will no longer be there (because there's no Character Sets to list).

Really ... I do not fully understand that I have changed in my the settings after you answered me. Because my brain has been blown up at that moment, in an attempting to solve this problem by myself all this day.
And i just deleted ALL IS and tollkits on each PC . Reinstall them ... and did everything according to the instructions again, from begining ))

Aaaand ... from 2nd try - i did it xD

Thank you again , Lax. Your soft is the best !
Best regards.
