Belking Computer Swith Problem

wchen64572 · 09-30-2009, 07:01 PM

I recently purchased a belkin computer switch. But when I turn one of my two computers on. The mouse and keyboard is only recognized on one computer. What am I doing wrong??

Is the mouse and keyboard USB connected to any of these computers even with the PS/2/USB Adapter?

they are all ps/2 connected to the switch

**BCCOMP** · 09-30-2009, 08:27 PM

What about the connections from the switch to the computers?

Shut down both computers.
Remove the switch
Connect the keyboard and mouse to each computer seperately to confirm the work on both computers

Reconnect the switch to just one computer and test the keyboard and mouse
Use the same connection on the other computer and test it.
Do the same with the other switch connection.

Just trying to determine if it is the switch or the computers.

How are you toggling between the computers (Scroll lock/arrow up twice)?

there is a remote button you can push

Can I get the exact model number?

I have a Belkin switch but it is not remote.

Belkin F1DF102P Flip 2-Port KVM Switch w/Remote PS/2
this should be it

Do you have any third party mouse or keyboard drivers installed on either computer?

Make sure your connections are correct (should all be color coded).
