UNCLE! UNCLE!! I GIVE!! NO MORE!!!

I think you are making the whole thing too complex.

As Vryndee said, just get one (1) broadcast software running on your Quad-core system.
Look at your keyboard. Find buttons for the pally around the buttons you use to play your druid. The F-key row comes to mind.
Edit the keyboard mappings of your pally. Unbind basically everything. Bind F1-F12 to Actionbar1 Slot 1-12.

Put the stuff you want your pally to do in the action bar and find out what you want there.

I'd recommend to go for heal macros with pre-defined target, such as /cast [target=DRUIDNAME] flash of light, and make them for both chars.
In addition to that, you want to have a button for /follow druid, mounting up and drinking+eating.

It can also help to start white-listing the keys you do want to pass.

I started with blacklisting,
but halfway there seemed to be a few key combinations which activated a macro when I didn't want it to.

For example:
Whenever I use my chain lightning macro and I'm moving backwards on my main at the same time my sound turns off.
logic:
CTRL+2 is my CL macro,
CTRL+S = sound off (still got wasd for movement on my main)
This is one which won't be covered by blacklisting, but it serves well as an example.

You might also want to try Synergy (with broadcasting)

Synergy has problems with right click...

Remaining (known) work: get pally to ignore every single button but 1-0, -, = and get my druid to ignore 1-0, -, =.

This is a trick to do with KeyClone, however it is quite possible to accomplish something similar.

The first thing you can look at is white or black listing. I personally use White Listing because there is less I want to pass than there is that I want to block. This is found in keyclones settings under do-not-pass. If you want to pick the characters you pass (turning do-not-pass into a "pass only") you check the white-list box and enter the keys you want passed, otherwise get typing on the blacklist. I find it works best with the strict box checked for whitelisting, and I suspect it works best without it checked for blacklisting.

Ok, now the bad news, you can't press a button on the focused client WITHOUT it going to that client using KeyClone (You could with AHK and I think you can with HotKeyNet). Since KeyClone seems to be the path you are headed down I'll focus there, and to accomplish what you want there are really two choices...

Choice 1: Leave the pally be, play the druid and unbind keys 1-0,-,= since you sound like you are a clicker anyhow. You can then click to your hearts content on the druid abilities, and press the hotkeys for the pally to obey orderes and follow you about. Since you are running off one copy of wow make sure you check the box that says character specific bindings.

Choice 2: This choice is ideal for being able to play either character and having 1-0,-,= work as normal on the character you are focused on, however it will require a fair bit more work. You would need to pick other keys to press instead of 1-0,-,= on the druid and hotstring map them to the right keys... A set of keys generally unused is your numberpad 1-0,.,+ and would work nicely. You would need to create two keymap files, on the druids keymap you would have something like a hostring that for the key NumPad1 says "druidsays1" and on the paladin you would have the same thing but with the normal number 1. This way when the druid client is focused you would press NumPad1 and the pally would instead press normal 1. As long as numpad 1 isn't bound on the druid, all is golden.

Thanks for all the posts, especially Vyndree (hope you didnt have to take out a home equity for that setup you have ! and the last 2 posters, steph and animal. I have gleaned bits and pieces from you all and have gotten the pally to follow, hearth, mount, heal self, heal druid, big heal self, big heal druid, salv self, might druid, bubble bubble bubble and lay hands and DI. Should be enough for now. I must mention a lesson learned the hard way: log the alt on first and the main second. That way when you are typing the ID and Password, keyclone does not perform a /say IDPassword in chat on your WoW main !!!! inch:

and to the guys who had an arcf fit on me using 2 machines: thanks, now my 9800 is overheating and I have to look for cooling solutions 8|

wait, what I meant to say was "There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over"

no wait, what I really meant to say was........

I think almost everyone has done the "oops! I was broadcasting my password!" snafu at least once in their multiboxing career.

Glad you've gotten things working! I know it's a bit late since it looks like you've got youself where you want to be, but you can always take a look at my article on multiple classes if you want to find more ways to pair up abilties between your two different classes.

This video also shows a very basic setup, and I probably should've linked it earlier but I was under the impression that you were still having multiplexer software issues.

Sometimes it's simpler to run things on one machine (what with the many features of software multiplexers) to get a hang of things, then move to multiple PCs (if you choose). I say, if you've got the PCs why not use them, eh? My first multiboxing "rig" was just a bunch of old college PCs and laptops all linked together via Multibox (the software). Once I got hooked with that, I invested in my (somewhat excessive) full hardware rig. Keyclone DOES have the ability to send keypresses over the network as well so there's always room for you to expand.

Welcome to the hobby!

Hmmm...... there's a DNP or do not pass set up you might want to look into add your WASD, as we;; as "/" and any other keys you don't want just popping up.

My second is a mute she don't say nothing she don't do nothing she shouldn't do and she always does what she's told. Hmmmm now if key clone could do that for my wife i am sold!!!! LOL j/k ladies. I'm a nice guy...... i think.

I set up keyclone to launch all my clients at once with the login ID already in the box. I disable DNP, enter a single password, hit ENTER and all instance login to the character loading screen. I make sure they are all the toons I want in, and hit ENTER, they all login to world, and I enable DNP.

Get to love the PAUSE key. I have a lot of players wanting to talk about multiboxing or whatever, and it allows me to talk on the main without the other toons twitching, opening up bags or character screens... you get the idea.
