MP Port Change

 

Ports Used by Multiplicity

After, make the connections again to see if mouse and keyboard actions are observed on any Secondary

If it works, turn the Windows firewall on, download the following file (on all MP PCs), and run the batch file:

That file will only work for Windows firewall.  For any third party ones, here are manual instructions:

Make sure these firewall rules are enabled:

Rule Name Port/.exe
Multiplicity Service 30564
Multiplicity Clipboard 30565
Multiplicity Application (clipboard) Multipl2.EXE
Multiplicity Audio Service 30567
Multiplicity Remote Screen Service 30569 (For Multiplicity 3 only)
Multiplicity Application (Remote screen control
MPRDP64.EXE (For Multiplicity 3 only)

All ports are TCP.  The executable names above are for whitelisting the applications within a software based firewall (Windows Firewall for example).
