QUESTIONS :-

1) How do i test that port 24800 (or whatever it is) - is open/closed ? (I have ZONEALARM).

2) How do i test if server/client is "listening" on the correct IP addresses ?

(refer my suggestion - More logging :- http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/forums/forum/199580/topic/4442168 )

3) How do I test if my IP addresses are actually running the Synergy programme ?

nestat -a is the command your looking for to see if the windows machine is listening on port 24800 (you should probably find out exactly which port needs to be open). – Kyle Apr 11 '11 at 14:32

telnet to the port to see if it's open. You will get a Synergy+ message.

the command is:

telnet hostname 24800

This works on both Linux and Windows if you have Windows' telnet client installed.

my synergy IS using port 24800. Is there a way to tell if the client can "see" the server (or other way round ?) – Sarah Apr 12 '11 at 7:14
If you can ping each computer from the other, they can see each other. If you run "telnet servername 24800" from the client and it pops up with a prompt saying "Conected to... Synergy" or something similar, it means the client can connect to the server on port 24800 and that port is running Synergy. – Joshua Nurczyk Apr 12 '11 at 11:38
