Here's the problem, I think.  If you just point both your laptop and
your desktop to sync directly from the server, you should have no
trouble.

I would certainly not advise syncing a single folder with multiple
servers.  I've never tried that, but I can't imagine anything but bad
things happening :-)

It is fine to sync multiple clients with the single server, though.
