I'm guessing it allows users to move windows from one desktop to annother, or am I mistaken?i've searched for help all over the internet and no one else has used it before.

If the host names do not match, synergy will put something in the log, but not warn you. One thing to point out is that the host name matters.

I installed several times and I have a perfectly fine configuration file, both machines can ping each other. The firewall on the windows box is allowing the port 24800 and is having an exception for synergys and synergyc. I have tried it both ways and none of them work. Neither one works for a client nor for a server. If the windows box is the server, I get a red don't enter/wrong way sign instead of the green synergy icon in the task bar and the status is always not running. The connection from the linux box is always timing out or getting refused. When I tried to use the linux box as the server, the log says that it is connected to the windows box but the mouse nor the keyboard never move. It records the connection only once and records entering the client once and then returning also once and never again. I have administrator privileges on both machines but nothing works. This is frustrating since I did have synergy working on another windows box but since I upgraded to this one it doesn't work. It is just windows XP not VISTA nor 7.Any help would be appreciated. I even got the guys who are the global administrators and still using their accounts it doesn't work at all.Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
