Ok, the machines MUST be able to ping each other. If they can't, you
need to get that sorted first. If they have funky network configs, you
should try to ping via IP addresses instead of host names and see if
that works and you may have to add some routes to get it functional.
Note that the Synergy configs will work with IPs or hostnames (or
both), but the machines involved MUST be able to talk to each other.
