    Hi,

    I tried this little program and so far it does work, but I just have a question about it:

    I know it's possible to run synergy automatically at startup, but is it possible for my client to automatically connect to the server? By far, I only managed to connect to the server by entering an ip adress, but since the ip adress changes every day, I can't connect automatically...

    I'm using SynergyKM as my mac-client...

    isn'it possible to virtualize the desktop screen too? ;)

    The way I work around this is having the Synergy server running all the time. Another option is to use static IP's on your LAN. Also, there is no way to virtualize the desktop through Synergy that I know of.
