Say wha?

My ID's change all the time.

I think with the commercial version you can set it up to keep the same IDs.

We use VNC Server free edition (4.1.2) here. Very easy to setup and use

Just been toying around with that, and the free version of that is brilliant.

I think we may start using that inside the company for tech support.

Do you know if it works cross platform? I.e. can the windows viewer see a Mac machine?

I used it with a friend on his dirty mac

p) a while ago and it worked fine

I use the free version and I'm sure my IDs don't change.

Lanschool

we have starting using this in the school i work at and its fantastic

http://www.lanschool.com/

simple to install
can monitor all the pcs in a room
control them
limit apps
limit net access
disable usb ports

and much more

There is a free version but i am not sure what has been disabled in it.

We werent too keen on the amount of broadcast that produces. Ended up with Impero instead which is quite decent. Bear in mind both products are for weblogging purposes as well - something you may well not want at all!
