luanaspi Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I should have used these forums several months ago, when I installed BTSync on both my laptop and netbook to sync them together. Well, turns out I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Now, it's even more urgent, as Internet connection doesn't work anymore on my laptop, and I need to sync folders with my netbook in order to work on my projects without hassle. My laptop is an Acer running on Debian 3.8.13-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Has BitTorrent Sync 1.2.82 installed.My netbook is an Asus running on Linux Mint 14 "Nadia" i686 GNU/Linux. Has BitTorrent Sync 1.3.109 [Linux i386(glibc 2.3)] installed. Both computers are on the same LAN. Under "Preferences" on the laptop, I configured port 5156 for listening and I left the UPnP option up. For the netbook, I used the same configuration, but with port 56875. My Problems When I checked the admin panel of my home router, I noticed the same IP was assigned for both computers and the ports (more precisely, it was the netbook's IP). I changed it manually, but had to change the rule name, too, so I'm not sure if this is affecting the sync.The laptop doesn't see the netbook as a device; the netbook doesn't see the laptop either.Following the advice posted in other threads on this forum, I disabled relay, tracker and DHT, but I left the "Search LAN" option up.I added NETBOOK-IP:56875 as a predefined host on my laptop's BTSync; added LAPTOP-IP:5156 on my netbook.... Nothing works. The computers don't sync... Can you help me figure this out? Thanks in advance for your time. ~ Luana Edited July 31, 2014 by luanaspi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luanaspi Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks, Harold. What should I do, in this case? Just upgrade the version on the laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
