Windows – Synergy 1.3.7: server refused client with our name

I don't have a Windows PC available at the minute to test this but Synergy on Linux at least, comes with "synergys" and "synergyc" being server and client respectively.

I'm assuming that the loader for Windows is a dynamic config creator which then loads one of the two files above (in .exe form) to do what you have asked (either checked server or client radio buttons) rather than there being a single .exe for both client and server.

If this is the case, you should have separate client and server files in your synergy install directory which you should be able to run independently and simultaneously using the command line.

Using --config to load separate config files, you should be able to achieve what you are asking. See http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html for the options.

On the new version of Synergy (1.4.2) there is a nice graphical configuration tool - qsynergy. It's in the start menu (and also in the system tray when synergy's running). This allows you to graphically set up the arrangement of client monitors around your server monitor.

The names you give the client monitors must match the name the client is giving the server when it connects. This is usually the name of the computer, but can be changed in the client's configuration.
