Mouse/Keyboard share worked like a charm until a phone emulator a part of SDK was installed and ran on the "server" computer and mouse/keyboard share didn't work. I tried to swapped Server/Client between my two computers to see any effect. Then Internet connection lost and my network system messed up. Finally my modem and router got hard reset and a new network with Internet worked again. I use Visual Studio and Windows 8 phone emulators work again. Then I reinstalled Synergy and changed back to the original setup and it never worked again.
Encryption is disabled on the both PC's. Server Configuration shows PC1 at the center of the layout and PC2 on the right column. Screen name is PC1, Port = 24800, Process mode = Service on the Advanced panel "Settings" window on the PC1. Screen name = PC2, and same settings on the PC2. The main window on the PC2 has Client box checked with Screen name: PC2 and Server IP: 10.0.0.3 which is also shown on the server main window.
Server Log: NOTE: connecting to service... NOTE: connection established NOTE: starting server NOTE: config file: C:/Users/Mike/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.gq5068 NOTE: log level: NOTE NOTE: log file: "C:/Users/Mike/Documents/Computer and SW Support/synergy.log"
Client Log: NOTE: started client NOTE: connecting to '10.0.0.3': 10.0.0.3:24800 WARNING: failed to connect to server: Protocol error from server.
I verified that the program 64 installed on 64 bit Windows 8 (server) (10.0.0.3) and program x86 installed on Windows XP 32 bit (10.0.0.4). Both PC's firewalls were disabled. Both encryption are disabled. I don't know how to reload a config file but I reloaded Synergy.
Please help me how to troubleshoot or correctly setup. Could my router block? Could Phone emulator that setup Public network cause a conflict? Both firewall settings allow Synergy in Private network which is currently used.
Thank you.
