Hi Micah,

I have tested this and it does work - a bit. I encountered two issues that appear to be connected.

1) When attempting to leave the primary screen, comp5 in your example, sometimes the mouse cursor will not go. I have noticed that now, after setting up as you show it above I also get client disconnections. I find it interesting to note that I had no client disconnections when setting up MultiBox to 1 by 1 screen and choosing the primary computer as that screen, effectively disabling use of the primary systems mouse on the client computers. Therefore I doubt that this is a network issue.

2) If it goes and I return it to the primary screen, the mouse cursor moves sluggishly a couple of seconds behind where it should actually be. This state happens for about 5-6 seconds. If at that time I try to move the mouse cursor anywhere, I risk crossing the screen boundary and creating more problems.

Both issues are pretty much disaster when fighting. =/

Instead of comp1, comp2, comp3; comp4, comp5, comp5 I have set Comp5 and live without the mouse now. Naturally prefer MultiBox as full solution. I am reluctant to run Synergy just for the mouse.

Just keeping you informed, I dont mean to nag you to solve my problems =]

Cheers, Steph.
