Running server on Redhat and client on XP. The problem was that the firewall on the Linux system was blocking the client from connecting. To stop the firewall, type "service iptables stop" on your Linux host. I had that issue as well. Running server on Redhat and client on XP.

Besides, when I go to "Help" on my server syngergy, it has a different IP rather than my PC's IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They are working hard on making it even better. You should take a look, I use it to share a keyboard between 3 machines and I don't have that issue on my mac.
