Synchronization is not working   14 May 2015, 01:40

Using window7 on both pc's, both wired connections, I have:

-checked the synchronization box on both computers
-entered the ip of the other computer in the "sync computer with ip addresses" box

Is there something else i should be doing. Please help, thanks.

Try turning off the firewalls on both computers.

Tried that, no change. Does it matter the location of the the networks files? What else could be the problem?

Settings are:

computer 1:
Sync broadcast target address - 192.168.0.255 (got this from a previous post)
Sync computer with ip addresses - 192.168.0.10

computer 2:
Sync broadcast target address - 192.168.0.255 (got this from a previous post)
Sync computer with ip addresses - 192.168.0.11

Well then it should be working with the computers mutually shown in the At a Glance tab.

Alternatively you can try these builds: installer | portable, which implement a different P2P syncing mechanism.

If you decide to try it, install it on both computers and let me know if it works.

I have tried the portable install as well with no luck. What/Where is the "At a Glance" tab? Please if anyone has any ideas as to why my two computers won't synchronize, please let me know, thanks.

Also, what exactly is the 'Sync Broadcast Target Address'?

The At a Glance tab is one the tabs in the Usage Reports section. Perhaps the sync did work in the first place, check this tab if there's info from the other computer:

SoftPerfect support forum

The Sync Broadcast Target address determines the address to send broadcast announcements to. When the sync is on, NetWorx announces its presence to other instances by sending a broadcast packet within the current LAN subnet, so when two instances find each other they can perform the sync.

Yet like I said, check the At a Glance tab, as the sync could have worked.
