Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I cannot get my laptop and desktop connected as usual. I am getting a time out message on my laptop Synergy client./ Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) It appears to be a possible server issue. I cannot log the client into my account.  Edited May 15, 2017 by Eric G Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Please provide more details for both machines (OS version, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, wired or wireless). Please specify which one is the server and client. Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Desktop is the client. It is running Windows 7 64bit. Synergy version. 1.8.2-stable-36cd521 Laptop Windows 7 64 bit. Synergy version is same.  Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 And I'm assuming they are wireless, as there is not a cord connecting the 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Can you try updating both machines to v1.8.8? Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Sure. From the website? Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Nope, that did not help. Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 And, the laptop is actually the client. The desktop is the server. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 What error are you getting? Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 The Server just says "Starting server, waiting on clients" and "Watchdog status: ok" The client says "Warning: failed to connect to server: Timed Out" Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Please post your screenshot as an image here, not a docx file. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Eric G 0 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's not letting me paste the screen shots here. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 You need to save the screenshot as an image first and upload it rather than just pasting it. Link to post Share on other sites
