Borut Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Server: Windows 10 Client: Ubuntu 16.04 Version: 1.8.1 When I installed the app on ubuntu, and wanted to start it as a client, I always get "Please fill in a hostname for the synergy client to connect to." when the "Auto config" is ticked. The "Server IP" input is disabled and empty. When I untick the "Auto config", the input gets enabled, but I think that's somehow not the point of the "Auto config" functionality I would like to have.

Paul Suarez Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi @Borut. Please send us a screenshot of the Synergy interface on that machine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 That's because your machine has a lot of network adapters enabled. It would be best for you to enter your server's IP address on that Server IP box for it to properly look for the server on the right adapter it has connection to.

Is this to say in other words that Auto Config works better if we manually configure unwanted adapters by disabling them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi @Borut and @d. What I really meant was, it is normal for the IP box to be graded out once the Auto config is ticked. That's because Synergy will automatically select which interface to connect to once Auto config is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Fangio Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 FYI - I just had this happen and realized I was on the wrong wifi network, so it couldn't see the server. So this error you posted, essentially means the auto-config failed because it couldn't find a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it wanted you to manually put it in since the other machine is not existing to any of those network you are connected to initially.
