KVM not functioning... any ideas

[mylosol]

I installed Octopus on my PC and my Laptop (which I plan to link) I had been previously using Synergy and it worked

wonderfully to share the mouse and keyboard... After installing I went through the tutorial at

http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Octopus_Tutorial (Very Helpful BTW) and everything connects fine between

my PC and laptop... but the mouse will not travel to the laptop from the PC... when I click on the "broadcast

cursor" check box I see and error "No cursor broadcasting window found on the server (required for a position

reference)." in the status window? I have searched and searched on FAQ or troubleshooting info on Octopus but have

come up empty handed... I hope maybe someone can help me here... I am pretty sure I configured the KVM right but

am still unsure because it is not working.

Did you get this working? I have the exact same problem.

I only need the KVM feature. My clients connect I set the KVM config up but nothing will cross over

there are many reasons why I've ditched this program and moving to 2 new projects, eg:
1) people can't seem to seperate the KM from the broadcasting components, as illustrated in the first post (no offence). It is set up correctly, tho.
2) too much stuff is coded like a double layer cake. It's complicated to picture mentally and just nasty to deal with when a bug comes around.

The only idea I have (personally I found sometimes the KM wouldn't work initially after I configured) is : Configure, then try to get it to update (By re opening/closing the KVM configure dialog, restarting the server, or reloading the application (especially the server). I would make sure it's run as an admin just to eliminate that factor. Since initial configuration I haven't encountered a problem, so I dunno, hopefully my new project won't suffer from these problems, since I re-did most of it.
