Re: Remote control of Windows PC

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

We use it here, too, but I don't know if/how it works with Jon's Mac.  All
of our PCs are XP or Win7.  I use it to configure our retail stores' System
i stuff.  The set-up that we use requires the PC's IP address and a
password.  Our PCs' IP addresses are specific; i.e., not the 10.0.0.0
variety that are used by, say, my PC sitting here next to the System i.  

I like it because, unlike Windows Terminal Services, the person at the other
end can see what I'm doing and take back control (which, of course, has
caused headaches - Hey, stop that!).

We use VNC for this -- but it does require you to install software.

I know of folks who use GotoMyPc.com -- maybe that'd work?  Not sure.
