Exclamation OS 10.5 - Can we access MAC from PC remotely?

Hi everyone!

Is there a way to access MAC remotely from PC?
I have client who uses MAC and I have to go there even there is small issue.
It would've been really good if there is any way I can access his MAC book remotely.

Please advise me.

I use TightVNC server (on the Mac) and Client (on the PC) to remotely control my Mac from my PC.

Otherwise, for supporting a client, how about using a web meeting service such as "GoToMeeting" or Webex? I know that GoToMeeting allows one computer to be controlled (mouse, keyboard and monitor) by another.

Thanks jsgreen,
that was really a helpful response.
I would definitely try TightVNC and GoToMeeting and will ask you more.
Thanks again.
cheers

You can use the Mac's built in VNC server, and connect to it from a PC with a VNC client (I also prefer tightVNC).

For the easiest solution though, try logmein.com
