yimyammer Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I am having a similar issue. I've been trying to connect all morning without any luck. I've closed and reopened Synergy on both computers & restarted both multiple times. Nothing is working, any suggestions? It was working fine yesterday and most days prior but when the computers went into hibernation, Synergy wouldn't work anymore when I snapped them out of hibernation. I have to restart one or both computers to get Synergy working again. It would be nice if things didn't stop work when the computers go into hibernation mode. Attached is a screenshot of both systems logs as well as how I have them arranged. Both computers are iMacs Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yimyammer Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 FYI-I found this post: Download Synergy 1.9-rc3 (Fixes the macOS WiFi lag bug) and downloaded 1.9 and it appears to have solved the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yimyammer Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 and I spoke too soon, I upgraded to 1.9 on one iMac and it immediately started working. So I went ahead and updated Synergy on the other iMac and I have the same problems as before ~ugh~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it says on Shut down, sleep, or hibernate your PC page of Microsoft Support site (US). "Hibernate uses less power than sleep and when you start up the PC again, you’re back to where you left off (though not as fast as sleep)." I have used tried that just right now, and it did work. I put my client machine to hibernate and waited for a few minutes. I switched it on from hibernate mode and as soon as it shows my Lock screen background picture I moved my cursor to the direction of that client screen and it works fine. What I have set on it is the manual IP of my server machine and auto config is turned off(of course). As long as the server's IP address stays the same, it should still be able to connect back after hibernation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks for the screenshots @yimyammer. Have you tried to check if it's only on the server or the client machine that it won't reconnect after a reboot? If it's only happening on one machine, try switching them and check for the same behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always the client machine that has the failed to connect message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
