Synergy mouse/keyboard sharing in reverse?

Question

I love synergy for two computers on a desk or similar situation. However, I have a desktop common pc that I use as a media center and was wondering if there was a way to accomplish the following situation.

Normally, the computer that runs synergy's server shared IT'S mouse and keyboard. So to control the media center from my laptop, I have to start the server on my laptop, and connect to it FROM the media center.

My question is, it is possible to do the reverse? Have synergy's server running on the media center pc, and connect different laptops/computers' to THAT? Any solution would be preferred. An ideal situation would be where a laptop user can connect to the media center computer, and the screen would always just be to the right.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Answer 1

Apparently you can configure the client to run as a service and automatically go looking for the server, that way you don't have to manually initiate a connection from the media center PC.
