I want to catch up with some work in Mac OSX applications from work.

Is there a way to login from Windows XP at work to Max OSX at home?

Is there any additional software, i need to buy?

Thanks

Prakash

Turn on VNC on the Mac, put a VNC client on your Windows machine, and poke some holes in your firewall.

You turn on VNC on the Mac by going into the System Preferences --> Sharing

and turning on "Apple Remote Desktop" (in 10.4 Tiger) or "Screen Sharing" (in 10.5 Leopard)

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know why Screen Sharing will not start? When I click the start button in sharing, it stays greyed, and nothing happens.
