Is there any good remote administration program for mac?
I want to control a pc from my mac, through a lan.
I use vnc but is is very very slow. Really slow. I waste my time.

I tried chicken vnc once but it did not run on my mbp. It was displaying some messages I could not pass them.

I heard of microsoft remote administration but it is a...microsoft program, how good can it be?

Any good and fast application suggestions?
 
If VNC was very very slow, there was something wrong with the way it was set up, because it's definitely not supposed to be very very slow. Over a LAN it should be perfectly usable.

Chicken of the VNC will work on your MBP. Try it again, make sure all the settings are correct and make sure the PC is running a VNC server.

Microsoft remote admin is free, but not a universal binary. It works fine. Try it.
