[...] This solution gives me control of the remote desktop but I can’t do file transfer with the free account. Don’t fear, there’s a LogMeIn Free for Windows too. Check out more solutions at Dear Cali. [...]

LogMeIn is the first application I’ve actually got to work to give me remote access to my Mom’s iBook. I’ve never been able to get VNC, Hamacchi X or other free solutions to work.
She’s got an iBook using AirPort Express to access DSL. I’ve got a MacBook using AirPort Extreme to access DSL. The setup instructions were very clear. This is a huge stress reliever. Thank you thank you thank you!

I’m an NTRconnect user and I absolutely adore it. I checked a lot before starting to use it, and found out that basically it’s cheaper than copilot, securer than VNC (it has 256-bit encryption, vs 2.500.000+ enties in google for “hack VNC”), really fast and very, very easy to use…
Well, as you can see I’m a fan! :-P

I’ve also found another product from the same company that really rocks: NTRsupport, http://www.ntrsupport.com. Two thumbs up.

I agree with Chris above.

CoPilot wins this hands down.

I have to second the comments for Fog Creek CoPilot. It works great, you can use any combination of Mac or PC and it works great. You can even do a free 2 minute preview to verify that it will work for you.

The Microsoft one doesn’t work unless the PC user has XP Pro and has Remote Desktop Sharing enabled. I just wanted to let people know because I have ben bitten by this.

Form The Microsoft Page:

To connect to a Windows-based computer, you need network access and permission to connect to the computer. In addition, the Windows-based computer must be running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services. The following Windows products support Remote Desktop connections:

Windows XP Professional
Windows Server 2003
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

Microsoft offers a free utility to access PCs remotely from a mac, works the same as the remote desktop utility in windows. I’m assuming the poster has a way to tunnel into the remote PC if not on the same LAN/WAN connection
