Synergy 1.4.10 :unrecognised client name “APNANLL3M4335”, check server config

synergy

Windows 7 links to Windows XP, use Windows 7 as a server. But I can't connect them.

Client log says

"server regused client with our name". 
server:"unrecognised client name ******, check server config".

What's wrong here

Looks like you haven't added the client name to the server config.

From Synergy user guide:

Windows

On Windows run synergy by double clicking on the synergy file. This brings up a dialog. Configure the server:

  • Click the Share this computer's keyboard and mouse (server) radio button
  • Click the Screens & Links Configure... button
  • Click the + button to add the server to the Screens list
    • Enter the name of server (the computer's name is the recommended name)
    • Optionally enter other names the server is known by
    • Click OK
  • Use the + button to add your other computers
    • Using a computer's name as its screen name is recommended
    • Choose desired screen options on the Add Screen dialog
  • Use the controls under Links to link screens together
  • Click (once) on the server's name in the Screens list
    • Choose the screen to the left of the server; use --- if there is no screen to the left of the server
    • Choose the screens to the right, above and below the server
    • Repeat the above steps for all the other screens
    • Click OK to close the Screens & Links dialog
  • Use Options... to set desired options
  • If the server's screen name is not the server's computer name:
    • Click Advanced...
    • Enter the server's screen name next to Screen Name
    • Click OK
