Using computer in two rooms?


Hello,

I currently have my PC set up in the living room and use Logitech's diNovo Edge: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>
as a mouse and keyboard.

I would like to know how I might access this computer from another room (office / study). I have looked at wireless senders, like the ones sold at Maplins (for Sky and Cable), but I also need to be able to use my Bluetooth keyboard.

Is there a way of using my wireless network to do this? I would rather not have to buy a cheap PC and connect to my wireless network to access my files etc...stored in the living room and wondered if there was a wireless hardware alternative? I am not able to run CAT5 or any other cables.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help anyone might be able to give.

Matthew

Assuming the Logitech's diNovo Edge will give you the range you need, there is a device called a Wireless Video Display Adapter. Google it fore more info.

These seem to be easily available in the US, but not so much here.
There are also mixed reviews, with folks claiming low resolutions only available and lipsync issues, but it may be worth checking out.

Thanks, although I do need something that will send video and my bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Has anyone else come across anything?

Thanks
