KVMfrog Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I bought Synergy and successfully use it between my Mac and my Windows 10 laptop on my home server. But when I bring these same two computers to work, and am using the same work wi-fi, Synergy no longer works. I imagine it's because my work wifi has a firewall that prevents my two computers from communicating. My question is what methods can I use to get around this? I heard that connecting my two computers with an ethernet crossover cable will work. Are there any other methods that don't involve cables? I would like a solution that can be done wirelessly if possible. I'm looking for any ideas. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVMfrog Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I ended up just using a crossover cable. It was surprisingly straightforward and simple. I'm able to have each computer wirelessly connected to the network but my 2 laptops are connected to each other via crossover ethernet so that synergy works for my software KVM. On the client side of synergy I had to manually input the other computer's (synergy server) IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
