Hi Chris,

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Remote Desktop Protocol/Terminal Services is a Windows only technology.  At the very least, it is (unfortunately) unavailable as a server technology on your Mac.

VNC is much more cross platform, and if you are concerned about security (as you should be) then you can use a VNC client that incorporates SSL, like SSVNC, to control your Macintosh form a windows computer.

I hope this is information is of use to you.  Good luck!

Hi Everyone:

I know that Msoft makes a software package that will allow a Mac to use the Remote Desktop feature to remote into a PC from a Mac.

Is there a way to use the Remote Desktop Client in Windows XP to remote into a Mac?  I'm trying to avoid installing another remote desktop client on my PC in addition to the one built into XP.

Thanks
Chris
