Hi Guys

New here, but I wanted to ask your help if this would be possible.

Can a host computer connect to a client not through ethernet. Like if he is in another country or state would that be possible?

Or does it have to be ethernet?

Thanks

It's far easier to just have both machines run Leopard and use iChat's "share screen" function.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?
