Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I need some help with this issue.
I'm trying to allow a PC to view a Mac's screen. They are not on the same network.
So far, I've got TightVNC on the PC, and I can see the PC screen from a mac on the same network (system/library/coreservices/screensharing --> put in the IP of the PC). BUT, the same method doesn't work when the connection comes from outside my network. I've tried putting in the external IP, but the connection is instantly refused.
Even if that did work, I'm not sure how I'd reverse the process to see the mac screen from the PC. Thoughts?
Finally, anyone have any experience with
livelook? Looks like it could work (for a modest fee), but I'm concerned about security and ease of use (mostly security).
Thanks a lot!
Edit: I think I've got it. A free program named "team viewer" seems to do exactly what I want, and rather easily, too. If anyone has any experience with team viewer I'd love to hear it, but otherwise, I think I'm good now.
