On my second pc (client) i keep gettint told: WARNING: failed to connect to server: Connection was refused Tried both the ip address given in bold on the server pc and the one read in network info through ipconfig in cmd line.

Paul Suarez Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi @Atreb. Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreb Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'll take the screenshot ASAP, as for the information i'm using Windows 10 64bit on both machines, and i'm connected to the same wifi network on both computer. Was trying right now to test it with my ubuntu 64bit laptop but couldn't get it to work anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's weird that both Desktop-Luca and surface3 has the same IP address(192.168.56.1). Have you set up DHCP reservation on your router? or manually assigned IP address on those machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy works flawlessly with my Ubuntu as server tho won't with windows as server. My guess is that there is a system setting to change tho have no idea where to look when trying to connect to my local ip address i get Timed out Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
