On two occassions the switch stopped sending keyboard input to the four servers (3 NT, 1 Linux). The only way to get keyboard input to the NT boxes was plug an actual keyboard in. Ultimately I had to restart each server with the Belkin set on that port in order for the server and Belkin (and/or Windoze) to recognize each other. Can you say very angry that I have to reboot servers in order to reset a belkin? -- Regards, Doug > On Thu, Sep 27, 2001 at 03:15:17PM -0700, Joey Garcia wrote: > > > > Hello! > > > > I was needing a recomendation on a KVM switch which would be compatible > > with FreeBSD.
