Synergy is a program that lets you use 1 keyboard and mouse to control 2 or more computers

  • Hmm.. I got a problem, I can get my mouse from my Desktop to go to the Laptop but i cant get it back unless I exit the program, Got any Ideas?

    Thanks

  • You need to add another rule to it. You told it computer A is to the left of Computer B, but you never told it computer B is to the right of computer A. It knows how to go one way but not the other. Basically, take the settings you now have in it and make another line that is the opposite of the existing one.

  • do you have to set it up on both computers the same way ?

  • The one with the keyboard and mouse attached is set up as the server, the other is the client. On Windows, the interface has an option to switch between client/server. Use Google to find out more.

  • how do u find out Ur screen name

  • The screen name is the host name aka the computer name. On XP: Start - right click my computer - properties - Computer name tab. Vista: Start - right click computer - properties - look next to "Computer name". I think an IP could be used instead, but only do that if you use static IP addressing, not DHCP.
