Anyone know a...

...program that allows you to use your mouse across multiple screens and computers?

There is one, just can't remember what it is.

Do you mean VNC (or some shared desktop variant)?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Nope, not VNC (I think!)

I have three monitors (two for one pc and one for three others) and want to be able to move the mouse from off the first pc's screen(s) onto that of the other ones.

Never heard of one..... cept remote control things like VNC. I assume your pc's are networked....

razornet was using it a while back; and aye, the pc's are networked.

Then I suggest you ask razornet.....

I think I owe one or both of you a pint for this.

This software is utter win *gleefully installs it on all three PCs* Might even manage to free up some desk space now!

i'm using it successfully at work. the only problem is when my two machines end up with different dns entries and can't see each other! the other thing you've got to watch out for, is to make sure that the mouse is on the screen of the one that you're trying to type your login password into, otherwise you'll be broadcasting it across the network...

No worries about the broadcast; I'm using a private network for the system, but thanks!
