Testing MQTT for dot net sample from two windows computer [message #1840517]

I was testing a windows sample for MQTT found at hemelix automation/structured-text-mqtt/

The sample works fine on the same machine but if I try to run the same application from a different computer it does not work. The sample is using mosquitto as a broker.
Are there any settings that I should use so the client running on a different computer can receive the data?

It might be this. Two applications connecting to the same broker must have different MQTT client ids. If they are the same, one will be kicked off when the other connects.

Hi,
Thank you for the response, it looks client id is different for each client
as it is generated by the GUID.
// use a unique id as client id, each time we start the application
clientId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
client.Connect(clientId);

Any further thoughts or options?
Since the last post was my first post, I could not show the source link, now I hope I can show it and that is https://www.hemelix.com/automation/structured-text-mqtt/
