MultiBox

I still haven't figured out what the cause of that lag spike is/was so I don't know if it's been "fixed" or not. I have changed a bit of code related to screen switching so it's possible that the lag is gone and if you get a chance I would recommend giving it another try to see if that is the case or not.

Just gave it a try again and the problem remains: as soon as I switch from one Desktop to another, there is this 5 second timespan, where the mouse cursor position is only updated only once a second. If it is an actual lag of the whole computer or just of the mouse driver, I can not tell.

The "lagg" is more like unstable, but i guess that is prolly because the other computer is realy suckey.

but the thing that is mostly anoying is that the mouse laggs some times.

and that it sometimes takes like 10 minutes for the other computer+thisone to connect to the server.

but some times it works realy smooth ^^

to bad that the other computer is in like 2 etg's over my comp :roll:

so i have to run up and down the stairs xD

Why not remote desktop it? http://www.realvnc.com/ is really nice, and you could also try the remote desktop windows provides. Saves you from running up and down

alright. something has happened now :S could anything tell me what's wrong now? :/

it comes a message that says "04:30:39: Connection lost: Next attempt in 2 seconds." evrytime i try to connect from another computer now.
and the computer that it is hosted on gets connected easily.

is there something wrong with my nettwork or something? :/

i have tested it on 2 different computers now

It sounds like your connection is getting dropped for some reason, try installing VNC (tightvnc, realvnc, etc.) on the machines and see if that works.

As for the lag issue, I recognize the symptoms, it means Multibox is lagging on the server but I don't have any idea why.

Hi Everyone,

This dual boxing stuff is great. I tried Synery and it works great between my desktop and laptop PCs. I have need for the broadcasting feature for a presentation. Simultaneous English and French presentations on 2 separate screens.

Anyway, I'm trying the ultrashare.net links but none of them seem to work for me. :?: Is there another download site for this? Or is this an ultrashare blip?

TIA,
RandyS

I just tried the link and it works for me. Are you trying to download the program or the source code?

[RandyS]

Hi Micah,

I'm trying to download the program itself, not the source code. I can't even get http://utrashare.net to come up on my browser by itself. I have regular cable modem access and I can't imagine that my ISP would be blocking it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
RandyS

I can't even get http://utrashare.net to come up on my browser by itself.

It looks like you have a typo in there, missing the 'l' in http://ultrashare.net/. I just tried it again and it is still working for me. Is anyone else having trouble accessing http://ultrashare.net/?

[RandyS]

Ah .... that was just a typo, clicking on your link gets me this.

Hmmmm ....

Nevermind, its working now. I was using Firefox and it wasn't working. Then I tried IE 6 and it did work. I went back to Firefox and now it works too. :lol:

Thanks for your help, time to test the goods.

Cheers,
RandyS
