Solve : Two towers hooked to one monitor? |
|
Answer» I have an internet linux computer and a windows xp TOWER. I have them both hooked up to the same monitor. No switches or anything it's straight into the monitor. My question is; is my non-internet computer STILL secure? Or, is there a way for somebody to hack into it?How are they both hooked up to one monitor ? ? Quote from: patio on March 29, 2010, 04:29:48 PM How are they both hooked up to one monitor ? ? VGA and HDMI?Hmm, so what determines which computer's output is displayed on the monitor? Quote from: inuyasha555 on March 29, 2010, 04:51:46 PM VGA and HDMI? I don't know if that's how the OP is doing it, but that's a good idea. Do the switching with the monitor inputs. I've used the external switches before, and they are kind of a nuisance. Better than two monitors, but still kind of a nuisance.Does the monitor have a switch for changing from one input to the other? If not, then how is the switching accomplished?On my main TV, which I just use as a TV, It's got a VGA input, two HDMI inputs, an AV input, a S-video input and a RF input and you switch between them with the remote. That way I can have a DVD player, a PlayStation and a VCR (long story) all hooked up at the same time and easily switch between them.It's a monitor with two vga hookups. There are buttons on the front of the monitor that can change from display 1 and display 2. Plain and simple. Kind of convenient REALLY. I'm wondering of the non-internet can be ACCESSED by the net through the monitor or if it's still secure. Thank you.

I figured but I work with a very secure network and you NEVER know. (I really like my job and would like to keep it) |
