I am extremely frustrated at this program. Why will the client not connect to the server? Despite ANYTHING that I do, I can only get this error. I attempted to read through the various help topics regarding this scenario, but for some reason, the vast majority of people who post replies on forum topics have the literary development of a 7 year old. No one can seemingly write complete sentences or explain how to correct issues in simple terms.
Can someone please help me?
Server: Linux Ubuntu 10.10 running Synergy 1.4.10

The Client: The Computer Name is Guy-PC
Synergy is attempting to connect with the username Guy-PC
If I try to change my computer name to Guy, Synergy STILL attempts to connect with Guy-PC. Even after reboots and uninstalls.
ERROR: server refused client with name "Guy-PC" WARNING: failed to connect to server: server refused client with our name
So obviously it does not fail to connect as the message states, but rather fails to authenticate. I'm so annoyed. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried changing my synergy.conf file all up, but it never matters. Client-Side Synergy will only connect with Guy-PC as the screenname.
