jeffgarden Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I installed Bit Torrent Sync on two Macs. On one I set up 4 different folders to sync, and then on the other I chose the corresponding folders and put in the secret/code from the first Mac for each folder. While on the same network, I added test files in each of the 4 folders and it synced fine both ways. When I moved one of the Macs to another house, the syncing seemed to stop. -- I also had 2 different Macs set up on the same network at a second location. Just to try it out, I kept one on the wifi and connected the other one to my phone's internet. I created a new empty folder on one Mac and it wouldn't pop up on the other. As soon as I left the phone internet and connected to the wifi (so both were now on the same wifi) the folder immediately popped up and the syncing worked again Isn't the app supposed to sync even across different networks ? I thought the other forum thread had someone saying they sync their home and work computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Sounds like a firewall on one network or the other is poorly configured and is blocking the traffic actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddarbaconcheeseburger Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Any tips on fixing this? I am also having the same issue but on a Windows machine. I have synced a folder on an android device with a folder on a windows 7 machine. When I am on the same network as the windows machine the sync happens seamlessly. When I am at home or on any other network it does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
