[QUOTE="IronMac, post: 378997, member: 7787"] When you say "connect to," do you mean mount a drive or take control. If you just want to mount a drive you have to change the scope of your File sharing in the Windows firewall to custom and input the IP(s) of the remote machine(s). If you want to take control I suggest [URL="http://www.realvnc.com/download.html"]Real VNC Server[/URL] for the windows box and [URL="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64347"]Chicken of the VNC[/URL] as your OS X viewer. Do the same with thing in the Windows firewall of which ever firewall software you are using. Both solutions require that ports be forwarded through your router. If you are concerned with leaving your ports continuously open (as you should be) enable remote login on your router. This way you can simply log into the router enable the needed ports do your business and then disable them. Manuall IP's make this a cinch all the way around. [/QUOTE]
