I use synergy all the time between F19 and F20 machines (the console is currently on an F19 box).
On the F20 box (XFCE), right-click on the firewall icon and edit the current zone (I'm using "Public"). Click on the "Ports" tab, then click the "Add" button. In the pop-up, put in "24800" and the TCP protocol and click "Save". That should open up the port for now.
If you want this to be permanent, click on the "Configuration" dropdown, select "Permanent", and repeat the "Ports->Add" thing and save this configuration for future boots.
You'll need to have port 24800/TCP open on ALL machines involved in the synergy config. For full disclosure, here's my /etc/synergy.conf file (and yes, it hasn't changed in six years despite all the updates and rot that's gone on)
Reassured that it should work, I'll continue to play. I added the port reservation on both sides, but the client still says it failed to connect - connection refused. Most annoying.
It might be something to do with the work network config - I'll have to ask...
Thanks!
