VNC

I've seen this before, and I think rebooting (or logout/login) fixes it, but it's happening again, and I'm hoping that someone has some insight as to how to prevent it in the first place.

configure the few options, open up the VNC port on your router, and you should be able to remotely control your Mac. ...

I have been wondering about VNC for Mac OSX. The client is great, but how do you install, or where do you get the VNC server for Mac OSX? ...

You can also use VNC - you can find it at www.apple.com/macosx/downloads.
