Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine.

Are you not using private IP address on your machines? Do you have WAN IP addresses on them?Posting a screenshot showing an IP address provided by SOHO routers is not a security risk. You can check other threads here and you'll see a bunch of screenshots posted to further diagnose the issue.

Also, please follow this format - OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server.
