Migrating Config from 1.8 (Connection not working)

[bigbear3001]

When i installed the beta4 on my Systems i discovered that:

* my Linux System was seeing both computers (this was the client in 1.8)
* my Windows System was seeing only itself (this was the server in 1.8)

To fix this i did the following:

* found the config files on both systems (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Symless\Synergy\synergy.conf and /home/Username/.config/synergy/synergy.conf (copied from /home/Username/.config/Synergy/Synergy.conf)

* adapt the config of the old server to reflect the client config (windows config (old server) had only itself configured)

my config currently (mouse sharing is working from linux to windows but not the opposite)

section: screens
  windowsHostname:
    halfDuplexCapsLock = false
    halfDuplexNumLock = false
    halfDuplexScrollLock = false
    xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
    switchCorners = none
    switchCornerSize = 0
  linuxHostname:
    halfDuplexCapsLock = false
    halfDuplexNumLock = false
    halfDuplexScrollLock = false
    xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
    switchCorners = none
    switchCornerSize = 0
end

section: links
  windowsHostname:
    left(0,100) = linuxHostname(0,100)
  linuxHostname:
    right(0,100) = windowsHostname(0,100)
end

section: options
  relativeMouseMoves = false
  screenSaverSync = true
  win32KeepForeground = false
  switchCorners = none
  switchCornerSize = 0
end

The error i had on the Windows computer before discovering that the config now needs to have all the hosts on both systems was:

[ Config  ] [2017-10-11T21:26:23] ERROR: Reply status code: 400
[ Config  ] [2017-10-11T21:26:23] ERROR: Reply error message: Invalid JSON request: bad numeric conversion: negative overflow
