Newly unable to start 2nd comp accts

heya, and thanks in advance for any help/advice

I recently decided to try ISboxer. Have been a longtime user of wineq2 but was looking for more.

About 4 days ago I downloaded and installed ISboxer and InnerSpace. I followed the wizard for setting up 2 computers. It did not seem to work, due to the TP port 10101 not working. I found a guide online that showed me how to open that specific port, which I did on both of my 2 computers. Valerian helped me out a bit, but try as I might, despite that port being open, I still could not get it to work. I left it and came back the next day, and while tinkering, somehow got it to work. I am not sure how. It worked fine for a few days, and I played some new toons on a prog server just to work the kinks out and get accustomed to the program.

Yesterday, I decided I was sick of the slow pace of the prog server and decided to go back to my mains, lvl 90s on a different server. I opened up the wizard and followed the same steps I had (I believe) originally done. Unfortunately, something has happened and even though the port 10101 is still open on both computers, I get an error message in Innerspace when I try to launch all accounts on both computers. Both accounts start up on the main comp, and I can start the game without any problems on the 2nd computer. I just cannot launch them all at the same time via the 1 computer. I have even lost the ability to do so with the noob character set on the prog server. Every time, I get an error saying the computer tried to connect via port 10101 and failed, despite the fact that the port is enabled on both computers...

Here is the link to the private paste.com where I uploaded the Hijack this info mentioned:

privatepaste.com :: Paste ID 2a5566e815

I am not sure how to copy/paste the log from Innerspace window, but i will quote here:

: 15:15:39 Preparing to launch linked Character sets first...
15:15:39 IsBoxer: Remote Character set 'Cazic Main Comp 2"...
15:15:39 ISBoxer: Initiating connection to Computer "..." via "...":10101
Attempting to connect to "..." on port 10101
Connection to ".." on port 10101 failed
15:15:42 ISBoxer: Luanching Character set "Cazic Main comp 1"...


my ISBoxer setup is found on the following private paste link

Re: Newly unable to start 2nd comp accts

alright, came back to it a day later, having made 0 changes and not having restarted computers or anything, and it worked, similar to what happened the first time. I am not sure what is going on, but I am happy to be able to box hehe.

I do have a question, does anyone use a particular program to be able to use 1 mouse/keyboard set on multiple desktops? I am trying out "mouse without borders' but am not really happy with it. It keeps getting stuck, as well as sometimes just stops working completely. I am wondering if Synergy or 1 of the others ones is better. I need to try them out I guess, but was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations.
