Ok, I am the first to hold my hand up and admit I'm a complete n00b when it comes to networking so I'm hoping some kind soul will give me some advice
I have 2 computers at home both of which are used from time to time, however I don't have room to have them both set up seperatly with their own monitors etc. My ideal scenario is to have both set up running through the same monitor, so you can just turn which ever one you want to use on and go for it. Obviously there are certain issues like only being able to have the mouse etc plugged into one of the systems and I don't want to have to swap all the cables over each time. Also I want both system to have internet access and obviously only have one cable modem. Both systems have 10/100 network cards and sit side by side.
Is there any way I can run both system through the same monitor using the same mouse / keyboard etc? If not, can any propose a good solution for having access to both systems whilst only using one monitor?
Thanks for your help
