I use synergy all the time between F19 and F20 machines (the console

currently on an F19 box).
On the F20 box (XFCE), right-click on the firewall icon and edit the
current zone (I'm using "Public"). Click on the "Ports" tab, then
click
the "Add" button. In the pop-up, put in "24800" and the TCP protocol
and click "Save". That should open up the port for now.
If you want this to be permanent, click on the "Configuration" dropdown,
select "Permanent", and repeat the "Ports->Add" thing and save
this
configuration for future boots.
You'll need to have port 24800/TCP open on ALL machines involved in
the synergy config. For full disclosure, here's my /etc/synergy.conf
file (and yes, it hasn't changed in six years despite all the updates
and rot that's gone on)
Reassured that it should work, I'll continue to play. I added the port
reservation on both sides, but the client still says it failed to
connect - connection refused. Most annoying.
It might be something to do with the work network config - I'll have to ask...
Thanks!
