Mac Forum / General / Networking / November 2005Is there a way to access my Mac from a Windows remotely?
And vice versa? >And vice versa? Depends on what you want to do, ranging from putty from Windows, to MS Remote Desktop Connection Client from the Mac.  SignatureChris. In article <1133296092.162148.189930@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>, > And vice versa? VNC? System Preferences -> Sharing -> Apple Remote Desktop, or "OSXvnc" as the server on the Mac "Chicken of the VNC" client on the Mac I can not speak for Windows, but I've heard good things about TightVNC on Windows. Bob Harris > And vice versa? You have to be a bit more specific- is your Mac running OS X or OS 9? If it's running OS X, do the following: Launch System Preferences (on the Dock or under the Apple menu) Click on the "Sharing" preference pane Click on "Windows Sharing" Click on "Personal File Sharing" and "Printer Sharing" if you want your Mac to make those available. Now, what you do on the Windows end to access the Mac, I have no idea. But someone else here will. I've never used Windows except once to write a letter. I guess I was not specific enough. Ok. I am here at work on a Windows XP machine. I want to connect to my laptop running OS X at home. Do I use GotomyPC software or some other software? And how do I do the opposite? > > And vice versa? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > idea. But someone else here will.

I use PCMacLAN on my windows stuff and they all share nicely with the Macs - files, printers the works ... http://store.ca.com/dr/v2/ec_Main.Entry17c?V1=674939&PID=674939&PN=1&SP=1 0023&SID=35715&CUR=840&CID=184271&DSP=&PGRP=0&ABCODE=&CACHE_ID=184271 m- > I guess I was not specific enough.

The generic answer is to use some VNC package; fire up your favorite search engine. The reality is that your home network might not be visible to your work network, and vice versa. Talk to your home ISP and your company's IT department. Good luck; you'll need it. |
