That points to a hardware issue. The DLink itself is causing the issue or at least being aggravated by it. We have some cheap KVMs here at the office and I have to do similar to you. During an install I have to plug the mouse directly into the computer or it doesn't get detected. It boots up fine though with the mouse plugged into the KVM for normal operation. At my house I paid some bucks for a good quality KVM and I've never had a single problem. When it comes to hardware, you get what you pay for. Your options are to live with the occassional disconnect or return it and pay the dollars for commercial products that work. (If I could remember the name of the KVM that I have, I'd post it, but I can never remember it). Blue skies...
