Does anyone know of a software-solution which makes it possible to use a monitor attached to another (running) PC via LAN in the same way as a second monitor?
My situation is this: I have a PC and a notebook. Sometimes it would be very convenient if I could use the PC's monitor as a second monitor from the notebook. I know that I can attach the monitor to the notebook, but I was thinking maybe there are is a software-based solution, e.g. a program (similar to remote desktop) which would run on the PC and notebook and which would allow me to use the PC's monitor from the notebook as if it were physically attached.
Update: I'm using windows 7.
I too have used Synergy as a solution (mentioned by osij2is), it works great. Just make sure you read the instructions carefully, it can be confusing to configure it if you don't understand what you are doing. – AdminAlive – 2009-11-10T17:34:13.983
