I'm attempting to get WoW set up on two systems using either MultiBox (preferably), or Synergy, though I'm running into interesting issues on both.

Multibox leads to lag issues, switching issues, and crash issues. I'm using the latest version from Shock. Once I have the settings correct, I start the server, then the client on the server machine, then the client of the slave machine. Once the slave machine connects, the mouse gets "jumpy" and unresponsive for about 5-10 seconds. This occurs when switching between computers as well, though invariably the ability to move from the primary computer to the slave computer is lost after a few rounds, and I can only operate at normal speed on the primary computer. Occasionally, the multibox server will crash at this time.

Synergy works well in general, but when applying the spinning fix (using right-click hotkeys to lock the window), the fix does not work. Additionally, with the hotkeys fix in place, I lose the ability to return the mouse to the primary computer.


I'm not so picky as to which one I use, but rather just want one or the other to work. If anyone has any ideas whatsoever, please let me know. Ive attempted using IP addresses instead of host names with no effect.

Also, the link to the broadcasting version of Synergy is broken. If anyone needs some temporary hosting for these files, please let me know so that I can provide some reliable, non-timing-out space for them.
