Thanks Jakob,I have seen no listenners on iris & ganesh but 2 on thor. I am not an expert I just config the 3 pcs the same. Could you please develop. thks

In the GUI, check what you’ve entered in Actions -> Settings -> Connections -> Sync Protocol Listen Addresses. It appears you’ve entered something incorrect like “192.168.0.23:8384”, which would be incorrect for two reasons:

  1. It doesn’t follow the formatting standards syncthing expects. You want something like tcp://0.0.0.0:22000, see the docs for details.

  2. The port number 8384 is already used for the GUI, it can’t be used for synchronisation. Leaving it at 22000 is probably best.

The easiest way for you would be to simply let everything on the default values, which is simply default.
