Hey,



I was wondering what is the best way to remote control a Mac from a PC (and vice versa).



Any suggestions?



Thanks.

    I would just use a VNC app. OS X has a built-in desktop server (system prefs > sharing > Apple Remote Desktop). Turn that on and you can connect to the Mac with a PC VNC client like TightVNC or UltraVNC. There are server editions of some of the PC VNC packages and you'd run one on the PC to control the other way round. Then you'd run Chicken of the VNC on the Mac end to control Windows. Remember to forward your router ports if you want control over the internet and use your external IP address.
