Connect On Lan Not Working in the beta. Anyone else?

Twisted Networx

Is anyone else running into trouble with Connect On Lan working? I've tried it on two networks (peer-to-peer). One was Vista/7 computers, the other was all XP computers.

 

Support spent two hours remotely troublshooting the problem on their end and couldn't get a fix, then replied and said you have to disable UAC on the target machine first (which seems ridiculous) unless you're on a domain.

 

So basically that means it won't work on XP or any vanilla installation of Vista or 7 on a standard LAN network.

 

Has anyone else made it work WITHOUT disabling UAC on the target computers? If I have to registry hack each computer then I have to be AT each computer. If I was AT them to begin with I'd just have installed LMI Free and not worried about COL at all. Seems like a backwards implementation thus far.

 

I'd be interested to hear anyone else's reports of how it's working for them in a non-domain environment.

Thanks.

Hi!  See you're having the same lack of response I'm getting.  You'd think LMI Support would be watching the forums, since nobody else is...

 

Anyway, you had problems with the Beta version -- I'm having the exact same problem with the new release. LAN Remote Connect simply does not work.  I also have peer-to-peer, and it doesn't work Win7-to-XP, Vista-to-XP, XP-to-XP, or any other combination.

 

Whenever I try to login on the remote machine, it refuses the ID and password as "Incorrect" -- when it IS correct, and even when no password has been set on the remote machine.

 

Did you ever get any help from LMI?  It would be a great feature if it worked.  I'm guessing they didn't design for us "little" users on P2P....
