W8WCA 0 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I cannot even just stop both then start them again they will not connect  Log from after stopping both while connected, then trying to connect CentOS Box connects has all green icon of display Windows 10 has that Green line moving https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-07-17/432-2017-07-17T18-46-17.log Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Nelless Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 @W8WCALooking at our connectivity data, it looks like 'deh-charlie' has never been able to successfully connect to any other screens, except on 2 occasions when it managed to connect to a screen called 'cygnus' at 192.168.0.14. 'centos7.dehowe.local' on the other hand is consistently able to connect to 'deh-charlie' on 192.168.0.103 Pressing F12 on 'deh-charlie' should force that machine to switch to server mode and allow you to control your CentOS machine but, unless we can figure out why you are unable connect the other way around, your CentOS machine will be unable to take control. (My suspicion would be a software firewall running on CentOS, perhaps try running 'sudo systemctl stop firewalld from a terminal). We are looking to address these asymmetrical connectivity issues in the future by making the network topology a lot more flexible, but under the covers v2 currently still has a client-server architecture.

W8WCA 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 While I can stop the firewalld - that stops conectivity as the Linux box is the gateway-router I am a LOT more used to iptables than firewalld but I have made sure synergy is in there and it's port 24800 is open for internal network connections Link to post Share on other sites
W8WCA 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wow! If I press F12 it connects right off! And by the way The Windows computer is the one I would want to be the server (It is a Hex Core Xeon W3680 w/30G RAM) https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-07-18/432-2017-07-18T06-59-12.log  I will re boot and report back Link to post Share on other sites
W8WCA 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 It starts and connects fine after a reboot if I hit F12! Â Thank You !! Link to post Share on other sites
W8WCA 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 By the way - I want to thank you all for hanging in there!  If you want to see it "in action" here is a photo I dropped on my personal web site Monitors  I was not sure if a post with a photo was appropriate - so i did this link  Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Nelless Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks for sharing that @W8WCA We hope to improve the auto-switching substantially as time rolls on, so F12 will eventually become unnecessary and be phased out. Stay tuned. Link to post Share on other sites
