VNC vs Screen Sharing vs Remote Management
I need to access my Mac from work (Windows XP SP2).
When I was running OS X 10.4 I came across a great program called Lighthouse ( http://www.codelaide.com/blog/products/lighthouse) to deal with port forwarding at my D-link router. I also used Vine Server on my Mac as my VNC server. I was able to connect from work no problem.
Now that I'm running OS X Leopard, I see that there are additional VNC sharing options under System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management and also Screen Sharing.
My question is this: do I still need Vine Server? Should I be making use of these OS X sharing tools instead (while still using Lighthouse for port forwarding)? I notice that Remote Management is already turned "on". Just wondering if I have some duplication of services or if Leopard now makes Vine Server obsolete? (By the way, VNC access is still working under Leopard.)
Any help is appreciated.
