I hope that the developers will soon implement some type of drag n drop feature between pc's. Replacing the client pc's server name with the server ip worked instantly for me, thanks a lot.

Well done. Mine wouldn't connect this morning. Kept showing timeout error. Played with firewalls on PCs and routers but no joy. Googled the problem - came here and your fix worked instantly. Well done. PS: I echo everyone's love for this software. Synergy rocks! Great fix dude! Well done. Mine wouldn’t connect this morning. Kept showing timeout error.

I've struggled getting connections on and off for a long time. Usually after I have to re-boot one of the machines. I love Synergy. Maybe even more now if it will keep connecting. Doesn't seem to be much ongoing development or support for this tool anymore though. Is that right? Hey, great fix. I’ve struggled getting connections on and off for a long time.

You saved me quite a bit of time. I had Synergy working with my old laptop, but when I got my new one, using the machine name on my desktop was no longer working to reach the new laptop. Once I entered the IP address of the new laptop, bam!, Synergy was able to make the connection and everything is working fine now. You rock, John! Thanks for this post.

I'm running XP on the server side and Vista on the client side. First synergy worked without problems but from time to time I'm not able to connect both PCs at all, even when using the server IP directly. I also disabled my XP firewalls and checked for the correct port forwarding on my router. I'm just not getting why it does not work... Thanks for those hints!

I got this error after updating from Tiger to Leopard although the computer name didn't change. Using the IP fixed the problem. And I just could not have lived without Syngery anymore ;) Thanks for posting this!!
