my server is on wifi, doesn't have static IP. How do I config client?

[Lei]

the configuration is asking the server IP. Do I need to change it every time?

my pc can ping mac. mac can't ping pc laptop.

Also, should i choose auto config?

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.

my client windows laptop is within a network. my server mac pro is outside of network. right now client failed to connect to server on port 24800, showing timeout error.

I got the latest Synergy download. If there is no way to get it work, I will have to ask for a refund.

Both machines needs to be on the same network for them to communicate. If this is not possible, then Synergy might not really work for your setup.
