Remote Desktop?

Okay, I want to enable my mac so that I can access it from anywhere in the world (similar to Remote Desktop for XP Pro). Is there a FREE way to do this?

VNC and Chicken of the VNC

what's the difference between the two?

VNC is what opens up the possibility for the remote connection. Chicken of the VNC is the program that connects

I use www.logmein.com.. It's web/java-based.. Just sign up and you can do free remote desktopping.. I'm not sure if you can actually add Mac's to your list of computers.. But I can control wintels from my Mac using it.

Why not just download Remote Desktop from Microsoft to control the PC's

What i did was enable the Apple RDP in Sys prefs. I then passed the ports from my firewall to my internal ip (i think the ports were 5900 and 3283). If i am on my PC at work i use Tight VNC viewer or if i'm on a Mac i use Chicken of the VNC.
