I just figured out how to set up a VNC server from my mbp and access my computer through a windows computer from anywhere. I set this up so I can be on my laptop through a computer through my school. Its really cool, take a look:

Very cool. Are you using the built in VNC server or a 3rd party app?

On the Mac, I'm using the build in software, but on the client, I run Real VNC from a flash drive because my school won't allow us to install software on the HD

Good! I would have suggested same if you were using another vnc server.

I'd like to know what security measures you've taken so no one else can remotely access your Macbook pro. If that's ok.

On the mac, I only use OS X's password service to allow a VNC Viewer. I don't really know if this is effective enough, but so far so good.

Yeah, remote access is very cool. Combined that with Parallels and you really get something.

Thanks for that. And I think that'd suffice for all bar the hardcore/expert hackers out there.
