Remote

If you are on Leopard, then, if you have iChat (dot mac or AIM) then we're already ready, there is nothing more to do than login to iChat and start chatting with me. If you do NOT have iChat, then skip down to the iChat section (you can use my iChat server).

If you are on Tiger, then in order for me to be able to look in on your computer, you'll need to login to my VPN, and you'll also need to enable "Apple Remote Desktop". If you want to iChat we'll need to cover that too.

VPN (Virtual Private Network)

If you have Mac OS 10.4
If you have Mac OS 10.5

1. run iChat
2. new account (in the prefs, the little "+" button)
3. It looks like this:
   
   If you're on Tiger, then you can enter "vpn" as in the Description field.
