Linksys KVM acting strange

[keebeen]

I've got this Linksys 2-port KVM switch (link).

My problem is that every 10 minutes or so, the KVM seems to reset or something. All of a sudden my monitor will turn off and then turn on again. I also notice that my keyboard lights (num lock, caps lock, etc.) will turn off and on again. I'm using the following hardware:

Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard
Logitech Mouseman optical wheel mouse
Samsung 955DF 19" monitor

I have two systems that are connected to the KVM. One of them is usually off (athlon system) and the other system is the one that I'm always using (p4 system).

Any ideas why a KVM switch would just seem to reset itself every so often? Do both systems need to be on all the time for the KVM to maintain power or something?

I've got the same KVM.

I'm not experiencing that problem, but It sounds like your KVM is losing power. You may want to consider getting an exchange.

And no, both systems don't have to be on at all times.
