I installed the Synergy v1.6.1 beta on both of my Win 8.1 server and client machines recently, both of which were working great up until today (both using DHCP).
I understand this could be a network issue, however, I've not modified my network configuration recently (using a standard consumer router).
For some reason, the IP addresses listed on the top line are completely wrong, except for the last one in the list, which it has chosen not to use (it's reporting mostly 169.* addresses when I'm on a 192.* network).
How can I update/flush/refresh my router/server/client to get them to report the correct IP address to Synergy once more?
Thanks.

I'm using Synergy@latest and this is still a problem. Something happens on my network that causes Synergy to switch IPs to the wrong one. The correct one is bold. I used to be able to reset my router to fix it, but now it takes a system restart. – isherwood – 2017-04-14T19:19:55.197
Hi @isherwood, there is a (non-ideal) workaround. You can untick the "Auto-config" option on the client and manually set the IP of the server. – Mercedes Colomar – 2017-07-16T08:50:41.590
Thanks, but I've been doing that for years. It's still a problem: https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/4251
