Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1131

I use a tower (with mouse and keyboard attached, Arco and Windows) and a laptop (Arco). When booting Linux on the tower everything works fine. When booting into Windows I can start the server, but the client on my laptop says "Barrier is starting", without connecting. Hosting the Server on my Laptop and using the client on Windows works. However, as my laptop has too few USB ports, this is not a permanent solution.

Neither "auto config", nor manual IP is working.
Both are connected to the same router via LAN.
Disabling the firewall does not solve the issue.
The server is configured interactively, such that the names correspond to the hostnames.

OS: Windows 10 and Arco Linux (5.11.13-arch1-1)
Barrier version 2.3.3 on all three systems

I just started using Barrier and it's working flawlessly for me. I might not be able to help you, but just to make sure: Did you check, if your Windows Firewall blocks barrier? You might need to add an exception there.

// edit:
I just saw I somehow overread the part where you stated "Disabling the firewall does not solve the issue."... So well nevermind.

@dnnnp, yeah neither disabling, nor allowing the rules do solve the issue. Thanks for testing it on your machine tho, restricts the problem somehow more to my machine..

I allow myself to go up this post because I have very exactly the same problem in the same configuration. Of course my firewall accepts barrier and I have checked that the name of my screen matches.
@smn57 did you manage to solve your problem?
@all, any idea?
