Shared session

[Denny Dunn]

I can join a shared session if it is created by another user, however if I
start a shared session other users cannot connect. Any suggestions?

Are all users on the same subnet/LAN? What are your firewall settings?
I'm guessing your firewall settings are not allowing ON to listen on that
port (2302 by default)

Yes we are on the same LAN. I do not run a personal firewall and I did allow
users on our LAN to access port 2302. Other users are still not able to join
a shared session that I initiated.

Is the Windows Firewall explicitly disabled? (Running without a personal
FW is dangerous these days).

How are you allowing the other users to access port 2302? Is this a
change on the network (on a switch or router somewhere) or on your
machine? Where on your machine are you making this change if you don't
ahve a FW enabled?
