Is it possible to estalish a remote desktop connection , from a Windows Based machine to a MacOSX system?

If yes, what software should I use?



Thanks

    If you download VNC you could do it either way (XP controls Mac or Mac controls XP), you'll need both the server and the viewer!



    Windows:

    Just google for VNC for both server and viewer



    OSX

    Chicken of the VNC (I'm not kidding - dumb name but it works great) for viewer. Google for OSXVNC to get the server.

    If you are running 10.4 (and I think 10.3 with the right client updates) you already have VNC installed (or should).



    Go into your system preferences and select Sharing.

    Start the Apple Remote Desktop service.

    Check the VNC viewers may control screen with password and enter a password.



    You should be able to access your machine by IP using a VNC Viewer on any computer now...
