I'm trying to do the same thing, does it matter if the computer goes to sleep?

Do you need a static IP for this? I tried to set up my airport with a static IP (I read instruction on portforward.com) but, Comcast won't give me the IP for the DNS server (I thi…

Hi McMark, Glad you were successful in using VNC over SSH to control your Moms computer. Since your Mom is on a dial-up connection which is only active intermittantly (when your M…

To add one more thing to what rjt1000 wrote, VNC viewers also allow you to set a connection profile. If you use fewer colors the screen refresh over the VNC connection will also be…
