What happened?

I'm having a problem running Barrier on my computer (Ubuntu 24) and notebook (also Ubuntu 24). More specifically, I'm having trouble getting the computer to work as the server.

So let's get detail the important information:

  1. In the past, I've been able to get the software to work on these two machines without any major problems;
  2. Currently, I can't get the computer to be the server. However, when I try to reverse the roles, I can share the notebook's mouse/keyboard.
  3. When I try to run Barrier with the computer as the server, I get an error message immediately, and most of the time the program crash (only in the computer).
  4. I started having this problem after adjusting some network settings on the computer due to some limited download problems.
