Dual monitors, dual laptops, and the best way to manage them — 5 Comments

  1. Thank you! I was just about to buy a $250 dual monitor KVM switch so I could get my work laptop to work side by side with my home laptop. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this.

  2. Take that back…I can’t even remote into my PC while the VPN client is connected and it won’t allow me to connect to VPN while I’m remoting in.

    • Hi Bob,

      As I mentioned above, I have the same problem with remoting into my laptop and starting my VPN. So I just first connect my VPN while I am directly on my laptop, then remote into my laptop. But if you can’t remote into your laptop while connected to your VPN, I’m at a loss to explain that as I have never had that issue with any of my many laptops and VPN’s.

      • It may be a setting within the Cisco VPN client. It just pauses at “securing connections” then I loose my remote desktop session. Then I cannot remote desktop into the laptop when I have the VPN connected beforehand.

        I work for a large company so I’m not even going to begin to ask them about changing settings.

        Any other tips for two laptops, two monitors and which KVM to purchase?
