| You might be better off using Microsofts RDC client. Windows XP has a built in client where a remote user can login using an RDC client, and Microsoft makes an OS X RDC client. Brian

| Rdc Remote Desktop Client is available in XP Home, but the only difference between Home and Pro is that you can set Pro to act as a server, but Home doesn't have this ability. VNC I think is a better option because it doesn't create a separate remote session (which becomes a problem if you are installing software remotely to the PC...I speak from experience  ). With VNC, you take control of the actual desktop, allowing you to see the mouse being moved and everything else that you see in the VNC session window. (That is, unless you have set the server to work in a different display other than 0, such as "foobar.localhost:1".)

 Mac --> PC VNC Sucks! Am I doing something wrong, or does a VNC connection between OS X and a Win machine Suck? I have dsl at home, a T3 at work, and When I can get vnc to work (Share my desktop or OSXVNC on the Mac - server - side) the remote screen is blurry and slow. A co-worker uses vnc to connect his NT to his XP machine at home and I can barley a notice difference. This Really sucks. What's more, he can vnc viaa browser. I enter my IP and port (vnc) and get a Page Can Not be Found. Somebody, Please enlighten me. Thanks and my gratitudes. Last edited by bobw; January 24th, 2004 at 09:36 AM. |

| Well, a friend of mine and I did this a couple years ago. Me and my Mac on my Univeristy's T1 line in California, she on her PC on her university's T3 line in Pennsylvania. Here's the kicker: using her PC 3000 miles away was faster than using Virtual PC. lol. Anyway, it is definitely more than possible. Can't say I know what the blurring means, though. I'd definitely try a different combination of VNC apps on both computers. Some VNC apps are better than others, and it really shows.
