Thanks, I went through that page alright! Despite the error, I know that it was not running. So, I rebooted. I got this on the linbox ("ety"):

dotancohen@ety:~$ synergys -f --config synergy.conf
INFO: synergys.cpp,857: Synergy server 1.2.2 on Linux 2.6.12-10-386 #1 Fri Apr 28 13:13:44 UTC 2006 i686

NOTE: synergys.cpp,356: started server
INFO: CServer.cpp,946: screen "ety" shape changed

However, when I start the winbox, I get this:
connection forcefully rejected

So, I must either be on the wrong port, or have the linbox firewalled. I've no firewall on the linbox, so far as I know. At least, Kubuntu doesn't come with one and I've never installed one. And the linbox's config I changed no ports.

How can I check what dameons are listening on what ports? Google just came up with game ports, and port athorities. Any other ideas?

Thanks.
