Hi,

I went through the guide. I Turned off al Firewalls on both computers and I was able to transfer files and text(Copy and Paste)

I turned the firewalls back on and installed the batch file.

I tested after the batch file and it did not work.

I went to the Windows Defender Firewall step. I am missing the Multiplicity KVM option as shown in the image in your link

I have also noticed I still have the Multiplicity 3 on there too. Should I delete that. I did uninstall the Multiplicity 3 before installing Multiplicity 4

Thanks

Tom

I have the same problem, (Multiplicity 4.07 Pro) I have added all of the firewall rules with the batch file MPPORTFIX.bat and went ahead and added the out rule as well as the in rules that were already there as the problem is the main sending machine. If I disable the Windows firewall on the main sending machine then the transfer happens as expected but if it is not disabled even when the receiving machine has it's firewall off then it just repeats copying files to target machine over and over and finally just stops. I don't know what other firewall rule to add to allow through the firewall and the windows even viewer log does not show any security alerts on either machine. Any pointers in the right direction?

I have found the problem. The MPPortFix.bat file you provide is giving the wrong direction for where the programs are located in the firewall rules.

C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeRunner\Multiplicity\Multipl2.EXE

C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeRunner\Multiplicity\MPRDP64.EXE

My install on both my machines is in the Stardock directory and not in the EdgeRunner directory.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Multiplicity\Multipl2.EXE 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Multiplicity\MPRDP64.EXE

The Batch file when opened in Notepad++ shows these entries that point to the wrong location for my installs:

 ECHO Creating rule "Multiplicity Application (KVM)"...

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Multiplicity Application (Remote screen control)" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP description="Allow outgoing network traffic from Multiplicity for remote screen" profile=domain,private program="C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeRunner\Multiplicity\MPRDP64.EXE"

ECHO Creating rule "Multiplicity Application (clipboard)"...

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Multiplicity Application (clipboard)" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP description="Allow incoming network traffic to Multiplicity for clipboard" profile=domain,private program="C:\Program Files (x86)\EdgeRunner\Multiplicity\Multipl2.EXE"

One further note for those troubleshooting this problem, I noticed I have some older entries for Multiplicity 3 and 4 further down that must have been installed from an older install from over the years

Under Stardock Multiplicity 4 Profile All, Enabled Yes

and a second one, Stardock Multiplicity 4 Profile Private, Public Enabled Yes

C:\program files (x86)\stardock\multiplicity\multipl2_64.exe with Protocol type: UDP All Ports set (Local and Remote)

C:\program files (x86)\stardock\multiplicity\multipl2_64.exe with Protocol type: TCP All Ports set (Local and Remote)

I don't know if these are needed but it's working so I'm not going to mess with it.

Be aware that you still have locations pointing at:

MPPortFix.bat that isn't updated (2024-06-20)

I got the file from here late last night from one of the posts here on the forum but I can't find the link from the post but if you can update it here it will avoid confusion and additional errors.
