Synergy Basic Configuration

I have windows 10 64bit pc and installed synergy basic to share mouse and keyboard. The service will not start. This is what I get:

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.

I got it to work. When I installed it synergy, it used an existing synergy.sgc which is no longer valid. I updated the file with the new configuration and computer names and it worked. Thanks anyways.
