Placeshifter Client on Vista 'Connection Refused'

[mrchesnutt]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the Placeshifter Client working with Windows Vista Business. I've tried launching the app from the commandline to view the log and all I can see is 'Connection Refused' when I attempt to connect.

I tried the client on an XP computer on the same network as the Vista computer and it works beautifully. I've played around with the firewall, adding the Java.exe executable through and have had no luck.

I've also tried running the client as the administrator. Any suggestions? I would really like to purchase the Placeshifter if I can get it working.

'Refused' suggests that the Sage server is not enabled, or not running... (firewall problems are more likely to give 'timed out' errors)

It wouldn't make sense that it would allow another XP machine on the same subnet as the Vista machine though... The port is wide open at the moment.

I'm sitting in a SANS Vista Security class right now, so maybe I'll learn something.
