Can someone with experience with this give me a hand in setting it up? I am totally lost. The pdf guide doesnt tell me much and my knowledge of networking is limited.

Let's see...

In the picture, Computer1 is the main/localhost, Computer2 is bottom left, Computer3 is top left, Computer4 is top right, Computer5 is bottom right.

And the mouse moves seamlessly to all of them. The mouse/keyboard is of course connected to Computer1.

EDIT:
You mentioned that your knowledge of networking is limited, mmmkay, now lets see... assuming that all of your computers ARE networked together under the SAME network... all you need to know is the name of the computer. (usually done after installing windows) But you can find out the name by going into Control Panel>System>Computer Name>Full computer name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My computers are named Computer1, Computer2, Computer3, Computer4, and Computer5 to better understand the setup.

Sorry if it didn't make any sense, and if it did... then cool.

Thanks I will try it out when I get home. There were two files in the zip. One says client the other just says interbox.exe. Which one do you load to set all that stuff up? Also, does it have to be installed on both pc?

Run client on the slave computers. Run interbox.exe on main. There's no real installation, just extract and run.

Ok after trying a ton of combinations I finally figured out what I needed to get my mouse to travel across 3 screens. Looks like I am good to go for now. Thanks!
