So I've had an issue that's been going on the entire time I've used Synergy (about a year) and I've never got around to asking about it. For some reason, I have to establish the connection first with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.3) as the server and Windows 7 laptop as the client, and then I can reverse the order and have my Windows 7 laptop be the server and MBP be the client, as I originally intended. I've tried over and over again to start with the Windows 7 laptop as the server to begin with, but I can never get a connection. Any reason behind this? It's not that much of an inconvenience, as it still functions, more of just an annoyance having to go through the process twice every morning.
The following are my specs: Dell Latitude E6410 Windows 7 Laptop, Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) OS X 10.8.3, Synergy 1.4.12
