Dear Aunt TUAW,
I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro and a 4 year old MacBook Pro that I will be taking to Romania next month to give to my in-laws so we can video conference with them. Seeing as they are not very computer literate, I want to be able to perform remote control / screen sharing in case the need should arise.
I know that OSX has built-in screen sharing capabilities on a local network, but over the Internet is something else altogether. I know that there are several services, such as LogMeIn, that provide this service for a fee, but I was wondering if I could do this without paying for a service.
Can you direct me to some documentation as to how to set this up? ssh configuration, port forwarding on the firewall, etc…. that might be able to get me started? Or make a recommendation that would be how you would do this.
Love,
Your Nephew Chris M.
