I have two machines connected. The server is S1 and the client is C1.

section: aliases
    C1.wcu.edu:
        C1
end
section: links
    S1:
        right = C1.wcu.edu
    C1.wcu.edu:
        left = S1
end

When I start Synergy on both machines, the connection is made but I get the subject WARNING message on the server constantly. On the client, I get the three messages below.

ERROR: server refused client with name "localhost.local"
WARNING: failed to connect to server: server refused client with our name
NOTE: connecting to 'S1.wcu.edu': XXX.XXX.XXX.73:24800

Any idea why I am getting these messages? The connection is working.

Basically Synergy for some reason has mucho problems connecting the server to itself. This is one such instance. As long as its working you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Check the client screen name in Settings. Change it to C1, assuming it is currently "localhost.local".
