The ``protocol error'' may be due to a difference in versions of 
_Synergy_ between the package you added in DragonFly, and the package / 
port you installed in FreeBSD. Synergy does work in DragonFly, but do 
make sure that you are running the same version.

There is no protocol error in TCP/IP; the error sounds like it's in 
communication between the synergy client and server.
