Trying to set this up and having the same problem as I did with
Synergy. My XP machine is the master and I have an XP laptop set up
as a slave; when I go to add the Vista pc as a slave I get the error
message that the host name does not exist.

I don't know anything about vista and have no idea what to do to
correct this problem. I've gone in and verified that input director is
on the exception list for the firewall, but beyond that I'm lost.

Help

Hi Kathy,

How are the 2 computers networked? Do they connect to a common modem/
router? Or do they each have their own connection to the Internet?

Regs,

Shane.

All three are connected through a router.
