Windows PC and Linux Machine with KVM switch ?

No, it's perfectly possible.\n\nI'm not so sure on USB, but if you're using PS/2 devices, there's no driver to speak of for them, so the switch should work fine - as far as either computer's concerned they just go long periods without hearing from the mouse or keyboard, as if you weren't at the desk.\n\nActually, with USB should be fine, thinking about it. You'll need to have hotplug installed on the linux box to make them work in the first place, so it'll find them anyway.

yes you can use a ethernet wire to connect the two computers, and then run the windows application to make one run from another.

From the point of inbuilt support, Windows offers 2 softwares, namely NetMeeting and Remote Assistance Feature.\n\nNetmeeting : NetMeeting delivers a complete Internet conferencing solution for all Windows users with multi-point data conferencing, text chat, whiteboard, and file transfer, as well as point-to-point audio and video. This white board feature is which you want. You can learn using it at : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/\n\nThe other feature is Remote Assistance(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/remoteassist/intro.mspx). It lets you stream your screen and its controls with someone else when you need help.\n\nPersonally, I have tried various tools that share your desktop screen and controls. From that point, I would not recommend these 2 utilities, because of following reasons:\n\n1) You need MSN Messenger for using Remote Desktop\n2) Hence, you also need an account at the Passport Network of MSN\n3) You can share screens between 2 users only,\n4) Its pretty resource consuming on systems with lighter configuration\nIf you take my word, try TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/). It is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. TightVNC is:\n\n* free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available;\n* useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes;\n* cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software;\n* well maintained and being actively developed.\n\nThere are other like RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com/), GoToMyPC(https://www.gotomypc.com/) and around a hundred others for the same purpose. But I prefer TightVNC because it is the lightest on resources and most easy to use. I have tried experiments from buffering Video Game screen to streaming your screen on 22 PCs in a chain (not directly). When using other tools, Video games gave a lower FPS( frame per second) as they were consuming more CPU cycles. Also, the time delay in chain screening ( one comp receives and sends its screen to the other comp), was heavy with other tools. Some other services are http://www.logmein.com. Hope this helps you.

You could run it inside VMWare Player or M$ Virtual PC. You possibly could talk to it via the virtual LAN card.

There is no way to use the same monitor with two computers SIMULTANEOUSLT ... but you can switch between two computers with a KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) box.\n\nThese boxes connect to a keyboard, monitor and mouse, and then connect to two computers.  You use a switch to toggle between the two machines.  If you have many computers they even makes boxes that will connect to as many as 8 computers at a time ... probably more.

You can if you install a program like 'Virtual PC' or 'VM Ware'.

VNC will do what you are looking for.  It is simple to setup on Win32 and comes in just about every other OS flavor under the sun.  It can be tuned to work well even at dialup speeds.  There are a few variants out so you do have quite a selection.  Below is one that I have used and can verify that it works well.

If you have them both connect to a router, then you don't need a switch.  I'm sure that they both are setup to get their IP addresses automaticlly, so that's half the battle.  Both computers need to be in the same workgroup.  To do this, do the following:\n\n1. Open Control Panel\n2. Open the System ikon\n3. Select the Computer Name tab\n4. Select the Change button\n5. Under workgroup, give noths pc's the same workgroup name\n6. Reboot\n\nYou can also check the link below for additional help.

Each PC requires a NIC (network connection), then you'll need either \na single crossover cable \nOR \ntwo normal network cables and a switch.

Install a USB mouse and a Mouse Port mouse.  I have done that several times, and it has worked every time.  You can even hook up 2 keyboards that way.\n\nA KVM will not work, because that is designed to allow 1 keyboard and mouse to work on 2 different computers.  This problem is the opposite.
