Is there anyone out there who doesn't hate his own mixes?

Yep, after a quick test, these two work pretty well together...

I have them both loaded but can't figure out setup.

Both of these are just Apps, so drag it to your Applications directory (or wherever else you want it) and double-click to start them.

On the server, in the General tab, you'll see it's IP address printed. You should also add a password, and then click the Stop Server button followed by the Start Server button.

While the Redstone server supports Bonjour (very cool), Chicken of the VNC (COTVNC) does not (sigh).

Start COTVNC, on the left side, bottom, add a new connection by clicking the "+" icon.

Name the new connection something (e.g. G5). Then, in the Host field, type in the IP address that is displayed in the General tab on the server. And type the same password you set on the server. Then click the Connect button.

That should do it.

I plead stupigity. Never did this before. Let me ask. Is this the same as using remote desktop? I have that and ca n get that to work.

Yep, it's the same Different protocol, but same end result. Remote Desktop probably has more features and is probably more optimized for Mac. So, if you have it, use it instead.

Want to try and hook up to my laptop from there? I can pm you my IP and open up sharing. Would like to see how far we can manipulate DP over internet.

That would be fun! Though, if you have an IP address in the private space (192.168.x.x), then you'll have to give me the IP address that your ISP assigned to you, and you'll have to map port 5900 on your firewall to connect to the private address on your laptop.

If your laptop has an address in the public space, then I should be able to connect to it directly from here.

It's never easy!

see your pm and let me know when you want sharring on
