I have a mac laptop in my bedroom and a windows XP "server" in my basement. I was wondering if there is a way that I can control the XP machines screen from my macbook? They are on the same network and I can see the XP machine in the finder so i assume it should be relatively easy. Thanks in advance

VNC server for XP
RealVNC - RealVNC remote control software

VNC Viewer for the Mac
SourceForge.net: Chicken of the VNC

Alternatively: LogMeIn for both.

Real VNC costs money So I think I'lll probably go with logmein

No, there is a free version that would do what you need it for:

RealVNC - VNC feature comparison and download selector
