Surface Docking Station Network Not Working
Anyone with a Surface Pro Dock and able to get ethernet working? (self.Surface) submitted 4 years ago by soulesschild. We've been using these in a corporate environment with Surface Pro 3 tablet, they DO NOT support dual monitors strictly off the dock. The ONLY way we got it 'working' was using one Mini displayport to HDMI cable, then the on-board Mini displayport to DVI to the second monitor.
Surface Docking Station Network Port Not Working
The Surface Pro Docking Station offers 3 USB 2.0 ports, a MiniDisplay Port, and one USB 3.0 port. I would like to use this tool with a Surface Pro 2 (Windows 8.1) to support a 3 monitor work station. I have a limited understanding when it comes to hardware capabilities. Is the Surface Pro 2 capable of supporting an external 3 monitor work station? Edit: Both Microsoft AND the distributor of a 5760 x 1080 total resolution 3 monitor display have confirmed that the Surface Pro 2 will support such a setup. See the great answer below for information on how to get that done. Here is a really proper answer.
Due to Surface Pro 2 have an i5-4300U CPU (just like Surface Pro 3) which have integrated Intel HD4400 GPU, it up to three displays over a single Mini DisplayPort. The feature is called and you will need either a Multi-Stream Transport hub (MST hub — just like familiar USB hub, but for displays) or compatible displays with a feature. You can use almost any combination of DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI and VGA connections (through DisplayPort adapters) and even connect one display over-the-air via. Beware of USB display adapters, they will just decrease a Surface Pro 3 performance.
Surface Pro 3 Docking Station Ethernet Not Working
I made a fancy 3-Displays Options table for all Surface Pro 3 models on, take a look. I have been nothing but impressed with Surface Pro 2's graphic capabilities, including running Crysis 2 flawlessly, with motion blur and other nice effects enabled. Now, related to my question here, both Microsoft AND the distributor of a 5760 x 1080 total resolution 3 monitor display have confirmed that the Surface Pro 2 will support such a setup (albeit not while running advanced graphics on all three of them). I'm extremely surprised at this capability in a tablet computer. – Nov 4 '14 at 22:49.
