Connecting to Mac OS X via VNC
In the entirety of my house, I happen to be the only Windows user (and an Avid one at that! Macintosh can suck my Windows 7 Orb!), but for some occasions I too wish I could use the Macintosh. For such things as the local web server, and in the future possibly making iPhone applications.
Now, I don’t like going downstairs to use the best non-laptop Macintosh. Its hooked up to a High Definition Projector system, and it is simply a burden to try to get anything code-wise with it done, without either sitting up close to the screen, or using Apple+ to make it larger, so, I did what any geek would attempt to do. Get Apple’s Screen Sharing system working with my Windows Box.
I have to be honest with you. It was a hassle and it was definitely NOT worth it. Regardless of client side settings, VNC was incredibly slow over the Local Network.
However, as some of you may wish to try this yourself, I’ve included the instructions after the break.
