One other question... What does anyone else use to manage a network of Macs? I can keep my powerbook and desktop up to date easily, but it is much harder now that I am managing 5-6 more on a network at work. With all the system patches and application updates, it is becoming unmanageable. Not all

I use Timbuktu often, both on a LAN and from remote locations, to access and control 7 or 8 Macs in my office. My remote access is usually through cable or DSL connection, so speed generally is not an issue. I'm very impressed with its features generally, although it does occasionally flake

It is usable, but frustrating. It seems especially slow when repositioning open windows in the Finder. I too am on a 100bT network and have not tried any broadband. I am tempted to try Apple's Remote desktop, but it appears to only work over a LAN. That would be fine for now, but I may not want to

I read about TB2, but it appears you must have a FULL copy on each machine This means I would have to invest $700-$800 to manage my small network. I don't think I can justify that in our budget, since my shoe leather is thought to be considerably cheaper! :-) On May 10, 2004, at 11:42 PM,

I tried Chicken of the VNC (installed the OSXvnc server on the other computer). I can make the software work, but there is a lot of lag on a 100bT wired network. Machines are both G4s, 450mhz and 800mhz. Should there be an annoying amount of lag, or do I just need to keep playing with the

GoToMyPC is a program that allows PC users to remotely control one computer from another via the internet. The home computer has software installed that will allow it to be activated by a access code sent to it over the internet from any other computer. Steve On May 5, 2004, at 10:21 AM,
