May I conclude from the above that if I have mom...
1. Check the box for Apple Remote Desktop in Preferences > Sharing, and
2. Check the box for <On> in the resulting window and also check all the
other boxes that appear in that window, then click <OK>...
...that her Mac is now "armed and ready", so to speak, in the same
fashion it would be had she turned on Share My Desktop?
If that's the case then, in other words, Apple Remote Desktop is a
replacement for Share My Desktop, no?
Do I then run Chicken, fill in her IP address and connect?
What about Password? Is any needed?
Thanks **so** much for this info. In all my searching around for a
solution, no one ever mentioned the on-board Apple Remote Desktop as an
option.
I was aware of the Apple software of that same name, which is very
expensive, like Timbuktu, and I was trying to avoid that major expense.
Thanks, again
bob
