ISBoxer - Multiple Computers

[Greythan]

I haven't taken the dive into using my laptop/desktop together, but have been thinking about it.

Lax, et al, once set up (I've read the walkthrough on the ISBoxer wiki page) will I be able to bring windows from any toon to my main PC? I'm thinking i'd setup four on my desktop and one on my laptop. So, will I be able to bring a session that's running on my desktop onto my laptop screen and control all five sessions from the laptop?

" will I be able to bring windows from any toon to my main PC? "

Simple answer, no. There is no software solution I've ever seen that can do this with 3d gaming video between computers.

Hrm. Then the "multi-computer" feature of IS/ISBoxer is limited to boxers who would be willing to work with certain windows always in a slave window?

(And is in fact how hardware boxers have been doing it since they started.)

I was running 5 clients across 2 systems with IS and it was no problem. I was also using www.inputdirector.com For sharing the mouse between the systems. I liked ID better than synergy, and it is free as well.
