I recently switched distros to fedora (was looking for the most recent version of eclipse being supported, something I wasn't getting from Debian), and in trying to get synergy set up again, I've been having an issue where my synergy server is refusing the connection from my macbook.
My synergy.conf file:
section: screens
client1:
server:
end
section: aliases
client1:
macname
server:
linuxname
end
section: links
client1:
left = server
server:
right= client1
end
My synergys command:
synergys -f -c /path/to/synergy.conf
My synergyc command:
synergyc -f linuxname
Both computers can ping each other, and on the linux computer I've used
telnet localhost 24800
which confirms that synergys is running (also ps -Af | grep synergys).
On the mac, when I try to do
telnet linuxname 24800
I get the message
telnet: connect to address ip.of.linux.box: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
$ sudo netstat -pant | grep 24800
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:24800 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 22727/synergys
Both versions of Synergy report themselves as 1.3.7, protocol 1.3 .
I'm at a loss. Anyone got a bright idea or two?
sudo netstat -pant | grep 24800and post it here? – Paul Jan 21 at 22:29
