I have two machines connected. The server is S1 and the client is C1.

section: aliases
    C1.wcu.edu:
        C1
end
section: links
    S1:
        right = C1.wcu.edu
    C1.wcu.edu:
        left = S1
end

When I start Synergy on both machines, the connection is made but I get the subject WARNING message on the server constantly. On the client, I get the three messages below.

ERROR: server refused client with name "localhost.local"
WARNING: failed to connect to server: server refused client with our name
NOTE: connecting to 'S1.wcu.edu': XXX.XXX.XXX.73:24800

Any idea why I am getting these messages? The connection is working.
