I want to use the software to use 1 keyboard and mouse for 3 computers. I can get 2 computers but can't set up the 3rd.
Have tried it w/o firewalls.

It is very cool. I have 2 monitors side by side attached to 2 different machines and then I have a laptop beside the second monitor and that's the one I can't get connected to.

Got it. The 3rd computer wasn't seeing the "Name of the server" so I tried the IP address instead and it worked.

Synergy is awesome. I (and probably 4 coworkers) have been using it for years.

I don't use it personally, but I know someone who does.

I use
input director for my setup because of the ability to support triple monitor master configuration and compliance with windows server use

I hadn't heard of that one. Looks like it's very well done, with a lot of options.
I'll have to stick with Synergy for me because it supports Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Occasionally at work I'll have a system (in addition to my Windows and Mac systems) to work with for an extended time and I'll just add that extra system for a while. Very sweet.
