Multiple PCs show IP conflicts.

Hello, I understand your concern. You have 10 computers linked to a private server, all sharing the same IP addresses for each pair to ensure smooth operation. Each pair consists of two devices connected via a LAN cable. The setup looks consistent, but you mentioned no internet or Wi-Fi access. The issue might lie in how the network is configured or if there are conflicts in IP assignments.

Do all devices share the identical local network and access the same DHCP server? If yes, you should either set up VLANs to isolate them or give each a unique IP address to prevent conflicts.

Your objective is clear. Avoid IP conflicts on PCs by routing traffic via hostnames instead of IP addresses. It's feasible to share the same hostname, which is common in server environments using a method called Round Robin.

I notice a couple of issues with your setup: the IP addresses contain too many digits, and some numbers are being reused multiple times. These could be causing the conflicts you're experiencing.

To ensure this functions properly, consider using VLSM. As illustrated below. Please remember that each pair of computers needs the server to possess a distinct IP address. PC1: 192.180.0.1 PC2: 192.180.0.2 Server 192.168.0.6 Subnet: 255.255.255.248 PC3: 192.180.0.9 PC4: 192.180.0.10 server: 192.168.0.14 Subnet: 255.255.255.248 PC5: 192.180.0.17 PC6: 192.180.0.18 server: 192.168.0.22 Subnet: 255.255.255.248 PC7: 192.180.0.25 PC8: 192.180.0.26 server: 192.168.0.30 Subnet: 255.255.255.248 PC9: 192.180.0.33 PC10: 192.180.0.34 server: 192.168.0.38 Subnet: 255.255.255.248

Synergy is a service that asks for a particular IP address.

I just checked the IPs again. For LAN connections you should use 192.168. The ones you listed like 192.180 are public addresses. Also, your IPs have more than four octets, they should be four numbers only—like 192.168.1.100 instead of longer formats.

This approach seems unnecessary since Synergy functions well with standard IP addresses. They might only require fixed DHCP assignments to maintain consistency across reboots.
