Question Setting up synergy on a complex network
Hi,

I'm trying to use synergy at my workplace. I have a Windows laptop, which I want to use as the client and a Linux desktop which will be the server. Unfortunately, these machines are not on the same Local Area Network.

The only way to access the Linux desktop from my Windows laptop is by ssh-ing a gateway machine (essentially a Linux workstation that's on the same network as the windows laptop and is also connected to the Linux desktop).

I'd like to know how to setup the synergy server on my Linux desktop so that the Windows laptop can detect it. I've been told that this was set-up earlier but after a new Linux OS update it doesn't work anymore.

Some details on the setup

The gateway machine (which runs Ubuntu 10.04) has two ethernet cards - first for the LAN network that connects to the Windows laptop and the second that connects to the Linux desktop (which runs SUSE Enterprise 11).

I can ping from the Windows laptop to the gateway machine, but not the other way round. I can ping to and from the gateway machine to the Linux desktop and from the gateway to the Windows machine. Also, I don't mind changing client and server as long as I can get it to work.

Thanks!

auscope

AUSCOPE(1)						      General Commands Manual							AUSCOPE(1)

NAME

       auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter

SYNOPSIS

       auscope [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       auscope	is  an	audio  protocol  filter  that can be used to view the network packets being sent between an audio application and an audio
       server.

       auscope is written in Perl, so you must have Perl installed on your machine in order to run  auscope.   If  your  Perl  executable  is  not
       installed  as  /usr/local/bin/perl,  you should modify the first line of the auscope script to reflect the Perl executable's location.  Or,
       you can invoke auscope as

       perl auscope [ option ] ...

       assuming the Perl executable is in your path.

       To operate, auscope must know the port on which it should listen for audio clients, the name of the desktop  machine  on  which	the  audio
       server  is running and the port to use to connect to the audio server.  Both the output port (server) and input port (client) are automati-
       cally biased by 8000.  The output port defaults to 0 and the input port defaults to 1.

ARGUMENTS

       -i<input-port>
	       Specify the port that auscope will use to take requests from clients.

       -o<output-port>
	       Determines the port that auscope will use to connect to the audio server.

       -h<audio server name>
	       Determines the desktop machine name that auscope will use to find the audio server.

       -v<print-level>
	       Determines the level of printing which auscope will provide.  The print-level can be 0 or 1.  The larger  numbers  provide  greater
	       output detail.

EXAMPLES

       In  the	following  example,  mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine running the audio server, which is connected to the TCP/IP network
       host tcphost.  auscope uses the desktop machine with the -h command line option, will listen for client requests on port 8001  and  connect
       to the audio server on port 8000.

       Ports  (file  descriptors)  on the network host are used to read and write the audio protocol.  The audio client auplay will connect to the
       audio server via the TCP/IP network host tcphost and port 8001:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm

	      auplay -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 dial.snd

       In the following example, the auscope verbosity is increased to 1, and the audio client autool will connect to the  audio  server  via  the
       network host tcphost, while displaying its graphical interface on another server labmcx:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm -v1

	      autool -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 -display labmcx:0.0
