Jamie Newbon 19 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Synergy uses Bonjour for auto configuration, and currently Linux auto config as a server doesn't broadcast itself to clients. What you can do is in the top left click on [Synergy]->[Preferences] and uncheck 'Enable Auto Config' That will allow you to type in the servers IP address manually Link to post Share on other sites

The desktop client interface did not change at all and still would not allow me to enter an IP address. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
IvoGonzalvez 0 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm having the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites
itsgarrett 0 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Same here. Catalina 10.15.1 Link to post Share on other sites
KASL 0 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 If you uncheck the auto-config option as mentioned previously, there are a couple more steps: 1) Stop the synergy client 2) Completely quit the Synergy app (kill it - there should be no synergy processes running at all) 3) Now start synergy and try - it did let me enter my IP address. I'm on Catalina as well. Regards, KASL Link to post Share on other sites
itsgarrett 0 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Unchecking auto-config and restarting did not change the behavior for me. What did work, was closing Synergy, right-click the Synergy app and select Open. Now I can enter the server address. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike H 0 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's worth noting I ran into this same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS just now. Unchecking "Enable Auto Config" in settings and then restarting did the trick. Link to post Share on other sites
UK-Paul 0 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Agree with KASL and Mike H. After disabling auto config, it is necessary to restart synergy. Only when this has been done can a server IP address be entered. Link to post Share on other sites
