Lan Messenger does not see other contacts on the network.

sysadnio:

Installed the Qualia application LAN messenger from https://sourceforge.net/ product  on computers in the network. There are almost no any problems , but this messenger doesn't see SOME machines on Win7 other and  vice versa. The firewall is disabled, the netstat-bn command shows that when the messenger is running a certain wininit.exe occupies port 50000 (by default it is port messenge.). If you shut down the LAN messenger, then  wininit.exe frees the port. In a normal situation, the port 50000 is missing.
How to overcome this trouble?

Added:
The question can be formulated in another way.
Why when you start the LAN messenger (and maybe any other application) in the processes appears wininit.exe?

maranelo:

The same problem.

I use it at home to communicate with my wife in the kitchen. My machine-Win 8.1 x64, direct ethernet connection; it has a laptop on Wi-Fi, Win 7.0 x32.

All within 192.168.1.0/24 under one router/AP (ASUS AC66U, latest stock firmware). Messaging clients see/do not see each other  in 50/50 cases. Numerous f5 refreshes usually help. The broadcast goes, nothing is filtered, any firewalls (neither on a router, nor on clients).

I  just want a stable work.


bringotus:
First of all, download another client from here: chocolatey.org/packages/slm . This messenger has a more stable work over LAN, check if this helps. If this messenger has the same issues like Qualia, check your network and firewall settings.

It is possible to conduct group conversations and to send messages to people who are not currently logged in. All the user activity is recorded in history.
