It is indeed a Belkin, but it is a 4 port unit (OmniView E Series). What may be messing with its mind is that I'm using a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical mouse and a USB to PS/2 adapter. You might say I'm lucky it works at all. I'm definitely suspicious of this KVM though. If this problem persists I'll check out alternative brands that others have been happy with.
