Hello,

Sorry if this has been answered before. I want to make a remote connection to my home Mac from outside my home network so I can control the screen and the computer fully. I'd appreciate some step by step instructions. Here is my setup:

Home Mac running Leopard.
Home Mac on Roadrunner Cable internet with dynamic IP.
Home Mac using Netgear wireless router (connected with ethernet cable).
Remote computer will be a PC running Vista.

What settings on my Mac and on my Netgear router do I need to use to give myself full control?

Easiest I've found: http://www.logmein.com

The free version should be all you need unless you have a more advanced need.
