Connecting to the Mac OS X VNC Server
To connect to a Mac OS X machine that is running a VNC server, you will need a VNC viewer. Viewers are available for Mac OS X; a list can be found on Version Tracker ( http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/) by searching for “VNC”.
If you want to connect to a VNC server from your Macintosh, there are several VNC viewers available for Mac OS X, including:
- VNCDimension
- VNCThing
- VNCViewer
To connect, start your viewer and specify the hostname and display number, such as abbott:1 or abbott:2. If all goes well, you’ll be asked for your password, and then connected to the remote Mac OS X desktop.
