My Dell laptop is sits in a dock on my desk.  Attached to the dock are two monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse.  A client will shortly be providing me with another laptop that I will NEED to use to help the client with a project.  My question is, can I attach the second laptop to the dock so that I can use the same monitors, keyboard, and mouse at the same time as the first laptop?  Would I need special software that would enable me to toggle back and forth between the computers?I don't know about using the docking station to accomplish this since I've never used one.  I'm just wondering whether a KVM switch might be an option for you.  A reference: http://www.ehow.com/how_7301460_use-kvm-switch-dual-monitors.html

Perhaps someone else can comment on the docking station. Thanks for the suggestion soybean. Perhaps I won't need the dock if I use this device.  I'll wait to see if anyone has a comment about the dock.We don't know what dock it is...
But a KVM switch would certainly do what you need as Soybean stated.It's a Dell E-Port Plus.I don't see where a 2nd laptop can be connected to it so chances are no...Ok, thanks for your help.  I'll look into the KVM switch option.Hello

What about attaching the second laptop to the network or use a CROSSOVER cable between your docking station and the clients laptop and RUN team viewer or remote DESKTOP. This will allow you to copy and paste files and text , run programs ETC. You could have your laptop on one screen and the clients on your other screen.
