Not an important thing, but still something I guess I should bring up as well.

On my client PC (SAKURA), when it is connected, it has a Synenergy Circle with a Lightening Bolt and another one which is open circle which has the status (Failed to connect to server: Server already has a connected client with that name) in the Notification Area Icons.

On the server (MAI), I have two icons with lightening bolts and the status on one saying (Connected. "Mai, Sakura")

This doesn't really seam to be effecting using the program, but I thought I should mention it as it seamed strange to me.

Log Output:

Running synergy: ./synergyc.exe -f --debug NOTE --name Sakura Mai:24800

The Log file keeps growing with what I think are repeats of the same error.

It sounds like you're running two copies of the synergy client. Maybe one is installed as a service?

I thought you had to install it as a service. Are you tell me that you do not?

You don't need to install as a service. You can just add the synergy gui to autostart through the windows->programs->autostart start menu entry. But typically installing as a service is preferable.

I will try this when I get home. Thank you!
