Touchdown! Greaser!
Are there any quick and dirty methods to remotely control a Mac desktop (Mac-to-Mac)?
My experience in the PC world has been with logmein. In this case it's a home Mac connecting to another home Mac, both on different networks. It isn't a major deal, mainly wondering how to do it without getting too deep into the network world.
Worst case: I do use logme in and have an account I can work with. For those unfamiliar, one of the ways logmein works is that I can log onto my logmein interweb account, tell it I want a remote connection, and it will generate a PIN that's valid for about 20 minutes. The person at the other end can navigate to logmein, type in that PIN, answer a question or two, and then I have control over their display, keyboard, mouse, and can transfer files.
I don't need that much for what I want to try to do, I just want to view the display and be able to move the mouse around and click on stuff. Both Macs are on different AppleAccounts (or whatever they call it).
