loose ability of mouse and keyboard on other cpu's

[Emilio Sorondo]

I am up to 506 trys and the only way to connect is to restart the server. When it works, it works great. I seem to loose the ability to use mouse and keyboard every few days.

I had the same problem, this is what i did: Open the firewall settings Go to advanced settings Click on incomming rules Add a new rule for each executable in the synergy folder Reboot your machine This worked for me, hope it helps.
