Question about Belkin F1DK102U 2-port KVM Switch
Cannot switch between pc's. Will work fine on one pc but when I switch to the other it automatically switches itself back to 1st pc.
Sadly, it is probably the KVM as this particular model has a string of failures and is only rated 2 out of 5 stars on Amazon due to poor performance. :( http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F1DK102U-2-Port-Switch-Cables/dp/B0001JXAQ6/ref=sr_1_1/105-6999807-3936431?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187826004&sr=8-1 What I would do first is plug in Computer 2 directly to the monitor, keyboard and mouse with no KVM. If those work fine, it is probably not a computer issue; if you don't get video here, then it is a seperate issue with that PC. If Computer 2 is working, plug both computers into the KVM but switch the cables (plug Computer 1 into the KVM using Computer 2's cables). If Computer 2 shows up and can't switch to Computer 1, then it is the KVM messing up.

Got the same problem. My laptop has ati mobility radeon and desktop uses Nvidia card. Dunno if that has somethin' do to with anything?
same problem, work fine for a week...
I try rebooting one computer, than the other... no result
running XP on one an Vista on the other
a real pain !
I have found temporary solution, I pull both the USB cables on my KVM for a few seconds, when they are both pulled I leave them unplugged for 5 seconds and then plug them back in and now the switch is happy again until the next time.
same here. switch worked for about 3 days, then it started to switch back. strange is that one side of the switch works perfect on both PCs, but when i try to switch to the other side of the switch, no matter which computer is connected to it, its switched immidiately back....
