:eek:Is there anyway to screen share my Mac's screen with a PC user. I use COTVNC for Mac to Mac but whats something that is PC to Mac or Mac to PC. Also I think there is a way to screen share my Mac's screen on my Pocket PC when I'm away from the computer in my house.:eek:

For the Pocket PC part of my question I would like to point out this article proving that it can be done:):
http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mods/news/2005/01/66292
"To access the Mac, Teddy installed a Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, client on the handheld and a VNC server on his PowerBook at home in Vienna. VNC is a standard, open-source protocol for network computing, with client and server software for dozens of platforms, including relatively obscure machines like the Newton.":D

So what program do I need:confused:???



some more info I dont understand:
"to screen share turn on screen sharing on the Mac and set a password. then download tightvnc on the notebook and allow it to unlock the firewall and add a password. then open tightvnc viewer and connect to your iMac's IP which is shown in network preferences and supply the password. to connect to the PC open connect to server in the Finder and type this in "vnc://PC's IP Address" and supply the password."

To view a Windows PC's screen your Mac, you can download the Microsoft RDC client from Mactopia.com. It's free and can connect to virtually any "modern" Windows OS (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or later). Lets you drive Windows just as if you were sitting at the machine.
