Hello, I cannot seem to direct connect with middle_man. If I uninstall it, it works perfectly, but once I reinstall m_m it does not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling m_m, uninstalling both m_m and aim then reinstalling both, but nothing seems to work.
AIM 5.9.6089

BETA 3: Direct Connect Will Not Work On Vista
Moderator: Moderators
I understand that the operating system may have had a hand in the problems, and had no intention of complaining, I just wanted to inform you. I use m_m regardless of whether or not the direct connections work (if I need to send something there are plenty of other ways). Thank you for your great product.
So I did some tests with hmphargh and Portfolioso...here are my results
Vista -> Vista
m_m to m_m - works
AIM to m_m - works
Vista -> XP
m_m to m_m - DOES NOT WORK
AIM to m_m - DOES NOT WORK
AIM to AIM - works
Yeah, not entirely sure why...but this is odd...

Matt... in the Vista to XP trials... AIM to m_m... did you do it both ways?
was it m_m on xp and vanilla aim on vista?
this is complete speculation, but what if vista has a way of determining the source of the connection? could it then say "hey, this isn't from an application that matches your application, we're not letting it through"

I did those runs with Port...and for some reason, his firewall was blocking it but didn't that third time. After he fixing it, here are the new results:
Vista -> XP
m_m to m_m - Works
AIM to m_m - Works
m_m to AIM - Works
AIM to AIM - Works
(X to Y == Vista to XP)
So I find no problems now. None whatsoever. Port says he is using Peerguardian which was screwing it up before. I am unsure why, but all tests now confirm that everything works.
