Aster 0 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I don't know how this is supposed to be set up. I have two computers, one desktop and one laptop. Desktop is connected with Ethernet to the network with a win10 64 bit os. Desktop is custom built and set as the server. Laptop is the new HP envy running win 10 64 bit as well connected via wifi to network. I followed the instructions to set it up, however, when going to the screen and links screen, the client was not showing up. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi @Aster. Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) HEre is one. Both synergy installed. I'm gonna update with the other one in a minute. Â @Paul Suarez Edited July 3, 2017 by Aster Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Basing it on the screenshots, they are not on the same network. Server machine is on 192.168.0.x network while client machine is on 192.168.1.x network. They should be on the same network or at lease the same subnet, so long as there's no restriction set on that subnet(s) for them to communicate. Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Ok... A little lost here, but I think I understand. I connected my desktop to my modem, and i have a router for my Wi-Fi, is there a way I can connect them on a subnet? (I don't really know this stuff, but always up to learn) Â Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi @Aster. Do you have your router connected to to the modem as well? If so, are they connected from the LAN port of the modem going to the LAN port of the router using an Ethernet (RJ45) cable? Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 @Paul Suarez Yes, it is connected by ethernet. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Would it be an option for you to have your desktop connected to the router instead of the modem? You can use an Ethernet cable to connect it to the router as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I've connected the two to the same router, though the ip address is not showing the same except for the last digit. Edited July 3, 2017 by Aster Attached screenshots Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Please refer to Getting started with Synergy knowledge base article for the steps in doing an initial configuration. Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I did the first time. But it didn't seem to do anything. I followed the instructions and went into it and changed it up. It still doesn't want to connect Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 @Paul Suarez I haven't been able to get this to work. Am I doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Basing it on the previous screenshots, your screen names are "Ashwin Home" and "HP Ashwin" right? Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes I changed the screen names thanks to the edit feature. The machine names are what are showed in the last screenshot Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Did you hit on Apply or Start after doing changing the names? If so, please stop Synergy on both machines and reboot them. Try it again after the reboot. Link to post Share on other sites
Aster 0 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I did twice. And rebooted then to see if that would help any at all Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Suarez 107 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Can you click stop on both and reboot both machines? Link to post Share on other sites
