Anyone that has 2 PC's needs this KVM over IP program
 

Seeing this software work was almost as cool as the first time I heard an 8 bit soundblaster make a voice from a computer..

It's called Synergy 2, you just install it on both PC's, tell it which monitor is where, and it acts as a KVM over IP. You just move your mouse to the side of your monitor (towards your other monitor) and when you cross the plane you're on the other PC, both keyboard and mouse, instantly.. No switches, no hardware, just blam works. So fast and easy to use many PC's at once now. I have it setup with my laptop (vista 64 bit) and one of my PC's right now.. Works like a charm. Also works over wireless

It's not meant for dual monitor on the same PC, but having seperate PC's with seperate monitors. My friend has it setup with a mac box, windows box, and unix box and everything works great between them.

KVM = Keyboard, VIDEO, Mouse

So how exactly is this a KVM setup if it requires multiple monitors?

:bowdown

I'm a big synergy fan... All of my computers run it.

I have 2 setups with dual monitors next to each other, my laptop, the render whore, and my girl's computer all connected. Life before synergy was a very tedious thing.

looks very cool indeed


thanks Socks

Wow. It's like VMWare, except it requires a whole 'nother box. Kinda reminds me of...

I think a lot of people use this and vmware together actually. Why not? You can even copy paste with this, between OS's if I read right.

Also there's absolutely no toggle, no monitor refresh, just WOOP yer there.

And cmon, you know there's lots of uses for dedicated PC's around your place.
