Connect to Mac computers from Windows OS with VNC Viewer to easily share screens, chat, and transfer files. Connect to out-of-band Mac computers with Intel AMT using KVM Manage and connect to out-of-band computers that are turned off or have a failed hard drive or operating system. Thus, we have immediate, “out of the box” remote connectivity to our Mac boxes. Enable VNC and SSH in Mac OS X ^ On your Mac OS X computer, open the Sharing System Preferences pane. To turn on the SSH server, enable Remote Login. The status area at right helpfully informs us of our SSH connection string.
I want to control my Windows box from my Mac. I installed RealVNC on Windows but it's impossible to connect from Mac. (Finder, Command+K) What should I do to do this?

What is happening - are there any error messages? - Can you ping your windows machine from your mac?

1) Install..a good VNC server on Windows (UltraVNC probably the best on WXP)(TightVNC works well with W7)2) Check.. if the Mac can 'see' the Windows PC (use the ping command inside the terminal app)3) Install 'Chicken of the VNC' on the Mac
Start 'Chicken.', write the Windows'IP number in the 'host' field, and connect.. (good luck)
Get started with Remote Desktop on Mac.; 7 minutes to read. Remote desktops are saved in separate.RDP files. In the Connection Center, right-click the remote desktop. The remote session will use the same keyboard locale as the OS you're running the client on. (If your Mac is running an en-us OS, that will be used for the. Torrent client for mac.

also, good starting points are:- don't use wireless, but use a 'cross cable' between the Mac and the PC (ask the cable to your computer dealer)- if the VNC client or the ping command shows 'timeout', then check and perhaps disable the firewalls on Windows (the embedded one and the one included with your antivirus) and disable the firewalls on the Mac (the embedded one and the commercial one if any (I use Intego))
Can't Get Printer To Connect To Mac
be sure not to be connected to internet when disabling the firewalls
success? ok, now do the same with firewalls 'on' and wireless 'on' (may be a little harder..)
Notes:- RDP is not VNC, it opens a Windows remote session (usually not the same shown on the Windows monitor)- Ctrl-K is not VNC, it connects to SMB/CIFS shared directories
Hope this helps
