Getting connected

You can use VNC Viewer to remotely control any computer running VNC-compatible Server technology.

You must set up this technology on your computer before you can connect. In particular, you must:

  1. Get VNC-compatible Server technology installed and running on the computer, or else enable Apple Remote Desktop or Screen Sharing built-in to Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
  2. If you are connecting over the Internet (for example, via 3G), configure firewalls and routers protecting the computer to allow and forward network communications to it.
  3. Uniquely identify the computer, and use this information to connect.

To see how to perform these operations, please read the online guide.
