Depending on whether you're willing to spend money on the problem,  
you might want to look at Netopia's Timbuktu Pro <http:// 
www.netopia.com/software/products/tb2/>.  They've been around since  
Mac OS 9 days and are also one of the few ways to control Macs from  
Windows machines and vice versa -- though the multi-platform product  
is more expensive.

Note there's a time-limited evaluation version so you can check it  
out and see if it's worth the money.
