Paul Suarez 107 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 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 post Share on other sites
PestilencePony 0 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Windows 10 64 bit on both PCs, Synergy Basic, connected to the network via ethernet, the computer I am using now is the server. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Consider one machine's screen name since they both use Home-PC. You can refer to Getting started with Synergy Knowledge base article on steps on how to setup/configure. Link to post Share on other sites

JDDoesIT 29 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 One PC may be named gaming PC, but in both screenshots of the client and server they both refer to themselves as Home-PC. Make sure that both instances of Synergy refer to themselves as unique names, most commonly their host names. Link to post Share on other sites
