Hi Bill, This is easy and inexpensive. I have a workstation and a Novell server in my home with only one monitor, keyboard and mouse. I got a switch box for about $20-25 at Fry's Electronics that allows them all to be used with both computers. When I was looking for the switch that I got, I saw there were sever different ones that allow various combinations of monitor, keyboard, and mice switchers. Keep in mind that you will need cables to connect to the switch box. The only problem I have encountered is that if I am in the server for an extended length of time, i.e. fifteen minutes or more, the workstation tends to freeze. Hope this helps. Brad Loomis, Los Angeles, CA Hello fellow listmembers, I need to set up a direct cable connection between two Win98 puters. My problem is only 1 monitor. Is it poosible to do this with no monitor on host machine? If not, how can I do this ? This help is urgently needed (I am setting up a machine for my nephew at college and He's returning back to school soon) TIA W.R.(Bill) Boulton PCBUILD only works if you contribute.
