throwawayname Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Set up synergy on a mackbook air (client) running Sierra 64 bit and a PC (server) running windows 7 pro. The mac doesn't seem to be autodetecting the server and asks me to enter a host name. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwawayname Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 I tried adding one of the IP addresses listed on the client, but I get the error: [2017-08-02T16:36:51] NOTE: connecting to '169.254.99.109': 169.254.99.109:24800 [2017-08-02T16:36:51] INFO: OpenSSL 1.0.2 22 Jan 2015 [2017-08-02T16:36:52] WARNING: failed to connect to server: cannot connect socket: Host is down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi @throwawayname. Your Mac machine is not showing an SSL fingerprint. Also, an IP address with a format of 169.254.x.x is not a valid IP address. It is an APIPA address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwawayname Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 How do I fix these problems? The address is the one shown in the server window. They are both on the same network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
