Multi OS ( Vista 64 and XP 32) Network - Which Boxing Software to Use ?

[Temor]

Octopus works fine in an XP+Vista LAN environment.

Thanks for that

Should I use Octopus 64 on Vista server and 1.3.3 on XP client or will the 64 bit Vista server run 1.3.3 okay ?



I've setup 1.3.3 on both but can't connect from the Vista machine to the XP machine. I have run it as adminstrator and turned off Windows Firewall. Any other advice form anyone please ?

I'm using normal Octopus 32bit version 1.3.2 on my Vista 64bit machine and the same version on my Vista 32bit machine. I've not yet tried 1.3.3 or the 64bit version of Octopus. For the pre-requisites to installing Octopus, I installed the vcredist_x64.exe on the 64bit machine I'm using Octopus on. For .NET 3.5, there wasn't a 64bit version of the installation so I installed the same one that I installed on my 32bit machines 'dotNetFx35setup.exe'.
Once you have the required software installed, just make sure to run Octopus with Administrator rights. I have all my machines launch Octopus from the Windows Vista Task Scheduler and have them set to start with Administrator rights. I found how to do that from one of the posts on these message boards some where.
