What’s the best server/client combo to remote into your Mac (10.6) from a windows machine

remote desktopsnow leopardsoftware-recommendation

I have a Mac OS X 10.6 computer at home, which I like to remote into from my work laptop from time to time. I've tried using RealVNC and UltraVNC with the built-in VNC client, but I can't get them to accept the adaptive compression, so I can either do

  1. 8-bit color that is low bandwidth
  2. Full color that takes up too much bandwidth for my home's upload speed

Is there a VNC client that supports the adaptive compression on the built-in vnc server for Mac OS X? Some other things I have tried are

  1. Using custom VNC server (Vine Server) to get higher color with acceptable bandwith
  2. Logmein.com – which seems to have it's own adaptive compression, but is only free for use w/one computer

Best Answer

You could try TeamViewer.

Like Logmein.com, it is a full software and one based one Mac OS X vnc.

By the way, it also works from an iPad or an iPhone or from a web browser under Windows.
