I've been trying to get a Belkin USB KVM switch to work with

the
other. It seems this would be straightforward but it's
not. The
keyboard, monitor and mouse work fine when just one system is
physically
plugged into the switch. But with both systems connected to
it the
switch seems to have a mind of its own and goes back and forth
between
the boxes as soon as I start using the keyboard or
mouse. Often both
buttons on the switch are illuminated, as if it were trying to
deal with
input from both systems.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Is there a workaround?

I had a similar problem when I replaced my roller/ball mouse that died
with a new optical one. Went back to a roller/ball mouse and everything
was fine again. Go figure.
