Is it possible?

I dont mean remote desktop - i mean I have a PC connected to a display

And I have a laptop with a mouse. I can log into a remote desktop - but obviously this remote desktop only displays locally if that makes sense

I need

Laptop + mouse + keyboard controls
PC connected to screen remotely.

any ideas?

VNC can leave the remote screen up if you want so you can see the mouse moving on both computers.

Mmmm just looked at VNC, it doesnt have a mac os client version thou?

Forgot to say, my local machien is MAC OS (has ms remote desktop) and my remote is windows.

Thought most vendors did all OS's nearly

Just google VNC and there are loads of versions available. I would look for you but am off out.

I think UltraVNC has a MAC Version but am unsure...
