The Screen Sharing is powered by Bonjour, which is a non-routable protocol. There is Apple Remote Desktop, but I*think* that only comes on an X Serve.

VNC access is also built-in. I use Chicken of the VNC as a client to remote to other Mac workstations. As an alternative to these free options, have a look at Timbuktu Pro. hth, Andrew.

Never thought to ask it here. Duh. Is there a good Mac OS X solution for remoting from one Mac into another? Something like RDP for Macs, I guess? I'm not looking for VNC, etc. I'm really looking for the ability to take over a Mac session completely.

I use "rdesktop" from home (Linux) to work (Win 2000 and XP) all the time, and have for years. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
