I had Synergy 1.3.1 as an XP server and a RHEL5 client. I now have a Win7 server and RHEL5 client the server is up and running the client is up and running. RHEL 5 gives the "...connected to server" message in /var/log/messages. However, I cannot get the Server to connect to the client. Debug1 gives the following: 2011-06-14T15:35:35 DEBUG1: try to leave "PC" on left ..libserverCServer.cpp,796 2011-06-14T15:35:35 DEBUG1: no neighbor left ..libserverCServer.cpp,802

All configurations are correct and running, checked and rechecked. I rebooted many times and disabled the fireal and UAC.

Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.

Sometimes when you disable the firewall windows blocks ports outside a certain range, its best to leave the firewall enabled and add the port in the unblocked list. I have the same setup as you and mine is working. Make sure your Screens & Links looks similar to mine, Make sure for the Screens: you have all the computers that are present Computer1 Computer2

Then under Links: you need to have the exit to Computer1 enter computer2, then exit Computer 2 enter computer1

Computer1 is right of Computer2

Computer2 is Left of Computer1

Hope this helps! GL!

Hello and thank you for your response. Unfortunately, this is my configuration. The client server (computer2) says conneted. The server (computer1) has the following logs:

NOTE: started server....\cmd\synergys\synergys.cpp,515.
NOTE: accepted client connection.... \lib\server\CClientListener.cpp, 130.
DEBUG: received client "computer2.domain.com"info shape=0,0 1280x102 ....\lib\server\CClientProxy1_0. cpp,407.
DEBUG: active sides: 2....\lib\platform\CMSWindowsScreen.cpp,471.
NOTE: client "Computer2" has connected....\lib\server\CServer.cpp,287.

Thank you again for your answer. However, this did not solve the issue. I have manged to isolate the problem to the Auto-Start feature "When Computer Starts". I can start it manually from the launcher and with the Auto-Start for "When You Log In". If the service daemon is in play it will not work even though the service is started. The moment you stop the service you can manually start Synergy and even restart the service and everything will work. Very strange.

Create a config file, either manually or using the GUI, and save it as

C:\Program Files\Synergy\default.sgc
Open registry editor, and browse to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Synergy Server\Parameters

Edit the CommandLine value

Change --relaunch to --restart

Replace the pathfilename that is after the -c parameter to

C:\PROGRA~1\Synergy\default.sgc
Close the registry editor, and restart your PC.

Thank you, but I do not have these values in my Windows7 registry. Please see below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesSynergy Server] "Description"="Shares this system's mouse and keyboard with others." "DisplayName"="Synergy Server" "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 (1) "ImagePath"="C:Program Files (x86)Synergysynergys.exe" "ObjectName"="LocalSystem" "Start"=dword:00000002 (2) "Type"=dword:00000110 (272) "WOW64"=dword:00000001 (1)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesSynergy ServerParameters] "CommandLine"=" --no-daemon --debug NOTE --name mypc --address :24800"

please edit your question and post the contents of your config file between <pre> and </pre> tags. The name in your registry is not consistent with the information you gave above.
