I was just curious... IP based KVM frighten me, if they are your only option... what if your switch is screwed, or your IP settings are screwed, or something like that? Up the creek without a paddle...

Mine must not be an IP kvm, it does just what you say, allows a VGA connection over CAT5. It is not run through my switch. It is directly connected through the patch panel....Sorry for the mis-information. I forgot how I set this up!!!! But it does allow me to use the KVM switch (in the server room) from my desktop which is not in the server room ;) -----Original Message----- From: Sullivan, Glenn [mailto:GSullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 11:07 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: OT: IP KVM Does this actually work over IP, or does it just allow you to shoot a VGA cable over CAT5? Just curious...

It works ok. Nothing special. I needed to use it because I couldn't fit a monitor in the server room any more. So I ran it to my desktop. I rarely need to use it because of terminal services. Also when I have it plugged in it electrically interferes with my monitor, so I only plug it in when I need to use it. It took a little while to configure it correctly, but all in all it works. If I was using it more frequently I would opt for another solution, most likely a different brand. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Benway [mailto:benwayj@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 9:41 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] OT: IP KVM I just started researching IP KVM's. I would like to hear experiences Good/Bad from anyone on the list that is currently using them, and what make and model your using.
