Paralys Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hey guys, Having a bit of a problem configuring Synergy. I have my Desktop with two monitors running Windows XP Home (Hostname: Batman) and my Laptop to the right of it all running XP Home (Hostname Robin). Anyone care to help me out as to how to set this up. Robin isn't wanting to connect to Batman even though they're on the same LAN . I get a an error that says: synergys.exe: no configuration available I assume I have it configured wrong, but not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated greatly, (I hate the touch pad on my laptop lol) Thanks everyone. EDIT: Batman is now configured correctly, however, Robin still will not connect. I tried setting them to the same port, giving them both a different static IP and forwarding the port to both of them but Robin still wont connect. It gives the following error now: WARNING: failed to connect to server: address not found for: Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remkow Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Have you disabled firewalls?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralys Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yeah, all firewalls are off. Still gets the same error. EDIT: Also, just noticed that each computer isn't recognizing each other on the network (Network name: Batcave). If I choose "View workgroup computers" on Batman then Batman is the only computer on the network. If I open "View workgroup computers" on Robin, then Robin is the only computer on the network... This is almost not worth it. EDIT 2: :x More errors.... Now if Robin tries to connect to the network, it gets an error saying: Batcave is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. This list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available. Damn Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deesastrous Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Screen name I put the ip address and the computer name was the alias. Never had any issues since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Have you got a local DNS server? Otherwise you will need to use static IP's and manually add the hostnames to the hosts files on each PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralys Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Got it, I used the IP instead of the hostname and its working like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
