I have two computers and two monitors... here is what I want to do. I want to be able to control both computers with one mouse and when I move the pointer off the side of one monitor it appears on the other monitor. A guy i met had his desktop and laptop hooked up this way... but i cant get in touch with him. I assume it is a program that he is running?? Does anyone know what I am talking about?
 
that guy was using a KVM switch that had support for dual/ multiple monitors. these are very expensive because of the dual monitor support, around $150 or more. the webmaster at my college uses a belkin dual monitor KVM, it looks pretty wicked. newegg.com has them in stock, do a search there for KVM. if you are willing to just use one monitor and switch back and forth between the 2 computers using only 1 mouse and keyboard than you can get a basic KVM switch for around $50. you can also just plug the mouses and keyboard separately from the KVM if you do not want to share them between computers
 
Install and run VNC Server.
From the other computer run VNC viewer and this will do.

Setup VNC server - read the help.
Connect with VNC Viewer - red the help...

Then even you need only one monitor


VNC is free
