Remote Desktop between a MAC and a PC

[bowbow88]

Hi,
I want to see if there is a way or software that could allow me to remote control or remote desktop from a MAC to PC and vice versa?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

To remote into a PC from a Mac you can use Remote Desktop Connection for Mac by Microsoft.

To go the other way, download any VNC client onto the PC, and allow VNC screen sharing on your Mac.

You can download the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection 2.01. Don't forget to enable your windows machine to accept remote connections.

Also take into account any software firewall (MS FW or otherwise) that may block RDP connections...you'll have to make allowances for that, also.

Dunno if that's what the last poster meant.

I was in yr shoes a couple of months back.
Finally i found Teamviewer. They have windows and mac versions. The best part is that they also have an iphone app. So basically you can remote desktop from mac to pc or vice versa and also from yr
iphone.

I have found CoRD for Mac -> Windows to be a particularly useful free alternative. http://cord.sourceforge.net/

I also use GoToAssist for work and it is the best paid program in my opinion. https://www.gotoassist.com

I agree with murano about Teamviewer, as a the best personal use free application, however, I have had connection issues going from the free version of Teamviewer on Mac to the free version on Windows. http://www.TeamViewer.com

Hey guys,

I am able to use Msft's remote desktop 2.01 from Mac to Windows. Very nice! It just messed up my keyboard on the windows laptop (I guess because it turns on the NumLx/ScrLk fuction that makes my M->0, J->1; but no big deal).

Still deciding what apps to use from Windows to MAC


After using the imac for 3 days, I can NOW see why people gets very excited about macs.
This was me on Monday (minus the s*x part):

I use TeamViewer daily for remotely controlling both Macs and PCs. It's free and works extremely well!
