rhd Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hi,I set up two windows boxes that are connected via a switch. I shared a folder between them. I unchecked 'Use relay server when required' and 'Use tracker server' and made sure 'Search LAN' was checked on both computers. I restarted both machines and noticed they did not start syncing. I waited several minutes - still no syncing. It wasn't until I checked 'Use tracker server' that things started working as I expected.This was using build 112.My question is: should the two computers have synced with those two options unchecked?Thanks!

GreatMarko Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 My question is: should the two computers have synced with those two options unchecked?Yes, they should! Perhaps it's a firewall issue on one/both machines?Also, are the IP addresses of both machines in the same range?You could also try changing the advanced setting lan_use_tcp to "true", which will force BitTorrent Sync to then use TCP (instead of UDP) for connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, both machines were in the same range - they were connected to the same switch. I'll experiment again on Monday. I'll also verify that the btsync installer properly added the exception to the windows firewall. I'll also try the lan_use_tcp option.

rhd Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just as a follow up - I retested using build 116 (which is, I think, the latest release build) and lan sync worked without issues... Thanks for the great app!My only wish is I could add some folder defaults, so I don't have to go in to each computer and uncheck those boxes every time... but it's a small price to pay. Thanks!
