Mac question...Remote desktop software XP --> OS X?

Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a free product that'll let me remotely control a Mac OS X machine from Windows XP/Vista?

MS offers a free RDP client for OS X --> XP/etc that works pretty well...so I have that problem solved, now need to go the other direction.

Do a search for Hamachi....I believe they have Windows and OS X client software. It might do what you want.

Thanks for the reply =)

Turns out it was easier than I expected...turn on Apple Remote Desktop under System Preferences --> Sharing. then use a VNC viewer. Also enable the "VNC viewers may control screen with password"

The refresh rate isn't all that good, but it works.
