For a while just now, Synergy did not work for me. On the status window, I see these error messages "failed to connect to server: address not found for <my computer name>"
Restarting Synergy on both server and client did not fix the issue.
Finally, I found that the Computer Browser service on the server (<my computer>) was disabled. After I started the service, Synergy worked again.
