Remote to Mac OS X Lion via Windows 7

Hi all,

I am new to the mac os. just learning and experimenting at the moment with diff techs.

I am trying to remote into with full control of the macbook pro os x lion using windows vnc viewer.

settings on the os x lion:

remote management enabled with all 3 computer settings checked and password. allowed access for all users.

- tried using tight vnc viewer, i was able to connect, however i am unable to proceed any more after the mac login screen...unable to type anything.

would you please help. thank you much.

I've used Go To Assist and, IIRC, Join.Me with success for remote session sharing. For full control (not sharing), LogMeIn free works on Mac.

not sure about windows 7 but on XP i was able to get it to work with UltraVNC (while realvnc and other clients didnt work)

ssh works on a mac

if you want a gui log in ultravnc is most likely your best bet

I use UltraVNC with Lion OS X from Windows 7 and since Lion that frequently results in the same situation, or it not even getting to the login box, but overall it works better than using Tightvnc/realvnc.
