I want to control my dad's iMac from over the internet so that I can show him how to use stuff (it's his first Mac).
here's the catch, I can't go to set it up at his house because he lives several time zones away.
it seems like I have to do this
1 - tell dad to turn on Screen Sharing
2 - ask dad to find his IP
3 - walk dad through Port Forwarding on his router
4 - connect from my mac
is there a way to skip step 3 because that seems like a part where there will be a problem between the keyboard and the chair.
