Of course I'm calling the DH_compute_key(...) after sharing the DH public
key both sides.
The symmetric keys are already produced successfully on Windows and Linux.
Thanks, Ohad.

If all you're callling is DH_generate_key(...) then it should create
different keys. That function call only generates the public and private
keys. What you need to do is:
DH_generate_parameters(...)
transfer the parameters between machines so that they are both working in
the same field
DH_generate_key(...)
the machines swap public keys
DH_compute_key(...)
the output of DH_compute_key on both machines should be identical. If that's
not identical I can help you build the computations from scratch and that
will work (it's not much harder than calling the functions above).
