12. My client can't connect. What's wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
A common mistake when starting the client is to give the wrong
|
||||
server host name. The last synergyc command line option (Unix)
|
||||
or the "Server Host Name" edit field (Windows) should be the
|
||||
host name (or IP address) of the server *not* the client's host
|
||||
name. If you get the error "connection failed: cannot connect
|
||||
socket" followed by "the attempt to connect was forcefully
|
||||
rejected" or "connection refused" then the server isn't started,
|
||||
can't bind the address, or the client is connecting to the wrong
|
||||
host name/address or port.
