Ila Jehl Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I have been using synergy for years and from time to time i have problems. I have uninstalled and reinstalled synergy on both machines. Both machines are running the same version of Windows with the same updates. Both Synergy implementations are set with SSL but they will not connect. server -- [2017-07-06T10:40:44] INFO: activeDesktop:Default [2017-07-06T10:40:44] INFO: starting new process [2017-07-06T10:40:45] INFO: drag and drop enabled [2017-07-06T10:40:45] ERROR: failed to get desktop path, no drop target available, error=2 [2017-07-06T10:40:45] NOTE: started server, waiting for clients [2017-07-06T10:40:45] INFO: watchdog status: ok [2017-07-06T10:41:00] INFO: watchdog status: ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi @Ila Jehl. Please do this on your server machine. On Synergy's user interface, Click Stop and click Edit on top left. Click Settings Use the IP address of that machine where you want it to listen or look for the other machine, type it in the box next to Interface (on your case, use 192.168.1.73) Click OK Relaunch Synergy by closing it and re-opening it Click Start On your client machine, change the Server IP address to the address to 192.168.1.73 as well (since it's your server's IP address). Let me know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
