[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 523018, member: 25890"] If you're connecting to your PC running Windows, you're much better off using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), a tool that comes with MS Office for Mac 2004 or as a free download from Microsoft. You need to have your PC set for remote connections, but it's easy to do and works fine. I connect to Windows machines running XP Pro and 2003 Server. RDC also has the capability to allow the PC/server to have access to the files on your Mac. I've tried using VNC clients to connect to Windows machines, and they do a lousy job. For better or worse, RDC gives you a compleat Windows experience. If your PC is running Linux, I'd be curious as to the problems you're experiencing. I connect to RHLE v4 machines at work on a regular basis using CotVNC and I have no real complaints. The cursor/mouse button interface isn't the greatest, but it's servicable for a day at a time. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
