MultiBox

[Los]

prolly set it up wring, fiddle a bit with the settings.

Totally agree with ellay btw, synergy for mouse movement across pc's and keyclone/multibox for replication of keys, works perfectly

Well could you tell me how to set it up (: ?

Ermm got a serious problem.. At the computer i run the "server" on i cant stear the mouse or use the keyboard but it works fine on the client computer.. What is wrong O.o ?

Multibox requires you to run the server *and* client on the machine that is the server.

From what I understand of it (please note: I have very little programming experience) the server intercepts your keystrokes, and only broacasts them to clients connected to the server. The client then sends the keystrokes to the operating system.

If there is no client running on the server machine, the operating system never receives the keystrokes.

I go this up and running, the PC's see each other, they are connected to the server ( client running on both PC's ) but I cannot get to my other screen, any ideas?

On the server you need to set your layout options in the bottom right area to how you have your monitors arranged. This creates little drop-down boxes in the middle. At each of those boxes select the PC name that is that monitor.

e.g. I have my layout set a 2x3, but I only have 4 monitors atm.
So my first row is... Toon1....blank.....Toon2
my second row is....Toon3.....X......Toon4
X is my main box... toons 2 and 4 share a monitor.

Ahh, thank you. One problem though, the server seems to freeze when clients connect to it other than the main pc and i cant select the other pC

i had that to solved it by turning off all the other network interfaces like wireless and network cards i didn't use.

Love Multibox!

I tried synergy with the f1 and f2 buttons for screen switching. This was to laggy and slow for me.

Multibox has the advantage to assign keystrokes so you dont need any Hotkey or other programs. (have a laptop and a pc with dual screen)

Hooray to the makers of Multibox and keep up the good work!

How do you have both toons following each other? When using multibox, and loading up 2 WoW's on diff machines, they dont follow each other at all, they are just not matching up in game and they eventually run away from each other.

Don't pass movement keys to the clone and /follow.
