TICKET ARCHIVE -> Remote Login to a Windows Server from a Mac

xstatical - Apr 21, 2006 - 6:40 am

Has anyone had any experience with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection software for Mac, or logging into a remote Windows server via a Mac through the internet? The company I work for requires me to be able to log into their server from home by typing in a URL in Internet Explorer (no special software). I am considering buying a late model iMac 20" (PowerPC) that have had a price reduction to replace my aging PC. I want to know if I will still be able to access the server over the internet with Mac OS X. I searched the internet and found Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac and wonder if it might be the answer. Unfortunately I can't 'try before I buy' and was wondering if you had had any experience with remote computing between Mac and PC or knew of someone who had successfully done this. If you need any clarification or more information regarding this question please feel free to ask me.

Hi i might be able too set-up my mac so that you could remote control it from your computer and you could have a go at Microsoft remote desktop. If you were using your PC you would need to download tight VNC so that you could view and control my mac.
If you want to give that a try email me milothomashill@yahoo.co.uk
