PC -> Docking Station -> Laptop

clumpypigeon · 10-30-2006, 03:27 AM

Is it possible to hook up my pc to a laptop docking station so I don't have to keep unpluging my pc's monitor/keyboard/mouse to use on my laptop's docking station? It would be so nice if both the pc and laptop ran through the docking station. Any ideas?

No, it is not possible. AFAIK, laptops use a special interface specific to that laptop, and you cannot use it for a desktop.

However, you could use a KVM switch. (google it)
