KVM with network switch ?

Anybody know if you can get a DVI KVM with a network switch aswell ?

Well I'm confused as to what you want...

A KVM with Ethernet ports built in? Or a KVM that allows access over IP?

A KVM with Ethernet ports built in so not to have the hassle of a extra box and power supply.

Surely just plug the 2 pcs into 2 ports of a router?

If the two computers where across the otherside of the house near the router i could

I'm not sure such a product exists, as I doubt enough power is provided over USB to power both the KVM and the switch. There are USB powered network switches out there, if you don't have another power socket available. You could then tape the KVM and the network switches together for a "ghetto" solution*.

*semi-serious suggestion only.

They should do 200mbs homeplugs with 2 Lan sockets

You can get HomePlug AV units with 2 or 3 Ethernet ports.
