error 0x80072746 when sharing whiteboard

Hi All

Running WLM 8.5 and whenever I try to share an app or WB I immediatly get an
error on the sharing PC saying

The computer that you are trying to reach is not responding

The netowrk might be experiencing a problem or there might be a problem with
software compatibility

Error 0x80072746
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.


Both machines are beside each other, I can IM and remote assistance between
them without any problems.
I thought our McAfee Firewall may have been the problem but after
configuring it every which way I resorted to uninstalling it but still get
the error.

Anyone any ideas how to resolve this?
TIA

I am having the same problem. The remote machine is a Vista & mine is XP.
we are both installing the same program. Yet the other system shows
whiteboard & share apps as grayed out. My screen says the remote machine has
whiteboard disabled or not installed. where is teh option to enable it or
where do I "install it"

Yeah I am getting the same error. Any solutions yet?
Both clients are XP

Yes, but your not going to like it.... Basically MS has decided that
everyone in need of any kind of whiteboarding system would have automatically
decided to upgrade to Vista. So Vista & XP white boarding is not supported,
and you can't remote into a Vista machine from an XP system.... sounds like
MS tiring to force an un-necessary upgrade.

I did find however a program called Microsoft shareview.... it seems to
work well

Hi Rich,

I'm not sure what you mean by the remote thing here -- Remote Desktop and Assistance are both
compatible Vista to XP and vice versa.

If you meant the Application Sharing function that went along with Whiteboard in Messenger,
then yeah that's gone.

SharedView does work rather well, unfortunately the release version doesn't integrate into
Messenger like the beta ones did.
