Hello everyone,
I am looking for a solution to help me control my parents iBook remotely. I have read into Apple's Remote Desktop but to be honest it costs too much to justify purchasing it for as little as I would be using it.
When I get that phone call that they don't know how to do something think they've broke it (they are new to the Mac OS), I would love to find an easy way similar to gotomypc.com to be able to remotely log into their iBook from my Mac and control it and let them see what I am doing to answer their question.
I am not all that knowledged in the VNC porting end either as I have tried to use Chicken of the VNC and could not figure out how to get around both our wireless networks. Plus the security issues are a concern as I would rather not put our machines at risk due to my mistakes of not setting it up properly.
I have seen my dad's business PC's flawlessly remote with gotomypc.com and would hope there is something similar as easy for the Mac computer.
Will Leopard offer a much easier way to remote between Macs when it is released? What would be my best solution for the time being? What is your take on LogMeIn.com?
Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!
