Input Director is working great thanks. Is there similar software that allows me to see the other PCs screen content as well?

Okay, I’ve been a user of Synergy for several months now. Recently, I got a new laptop PC, so I took a chance to try out Input Director (ID). It lasted only about 12 minutes on my computers.

At first ID didn’t want to connect to the slave (laptop), then the mouse movements weren’t as smooth as I’d expected and finally it stopped working when I connected the VPN (with has an integrated firewall). Maybe these problems can be fixed by fine-tuning the configuration, but I wasn’t in the mood for that ..

So I re-installed Synergy, which worked great again right from the start, even with the VPN running.

Synergy is great.
Works beautiful between Windows XP and Kubuntu or
between two Windows XP Machines.
