I often do work from home. I have a PC with a dual 24" monitors, and also a docking station for my work laptop. I use VGA inputs on the screens for the work stuff, and DVI for home, and can setup either PC to output to any screen. Someone work to both, sometimes home to both, sometimes one each.

At the moment I have one keyboard and mouse for each PC, but I'd like to use something like Synergy or Mouse without Borders to share a single KB and mouse across the two seamlessly. I've tried both, and the issue I have is that as soon as I connect to my corporate VPN, it seems to take over ALL traffic and the PCs can't see each other on the network anymore.

I have two network adapters (Wired and wireless), but even if I know the VPN is connected via the wired connection, I still can't see the LAN even via the wireless network.

Anyone have any tips that might help me get local connectivity going so I can share the mouse/KB? My plan B is to just get a USB KVM swtich and use a hotkey switching to share the same KB/mouse, but I am hoping there is a better solution.
