65392, Mac, PC Experts, I need your urgent help!!!!
Posted by BarTek, Wed May-17-06 01:51 PM
My mentor has a Macintosh and I have a PC. He lives in New York City and I live in Toronto. We want to connect our computers so that he can see what is on my screen while we talk on the phone. I don't want to give him access to my mouse, I simply want him to watch so that as he directs me (Graphic Design) we save time on sending files back and forth. Is that possible?? Please help!

He looks determined without being ruthless
Something heroic in this man, there's a courage about him
Doesn't look like a killer
Comes across so calm, acts like he has a dream
Full of passion

65609, this is an app that lets a mac 'see' what's on a PCs screen

it also allows the Mac user to take control of the PC.
it's called Remote Desktop Connection Client and it's availale on Apple's Downloads page here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/remotedesktopconnectionclient.html .

65610, VNC is also worth a try. It's a bit of a pain to setup sometimes though. n/m

I haven't used it but I'm sure some other Mac heads on here have.
You got options.

crashes all the time and the interface looks like something from the early 80's. i'd stick with VNC if possible
