Possible Duplicates:
What’s the best Remote Desktop Application?
Remote desktop to Mac from various platforms (Windows, Ubuntu)

I try to make a remote desktop connection from Win 7 machine to Mac OS Leopard machine. How can I accomplish that? Thanks

EDIT: When I try to connect via VNC after entering the IP address and password of server, program exits with a command line is visible for 1 second and anything happens. What is the problem do you think?

If you mean to control your Mac from Windows, just use VNC.

Mac has a built in VNC server. Go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> Screen sharing.

Then get a free VNC viewer for your PC, eg. http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html

Try the UltraVNC viewer - uvnc.com/download/1082/1082viewer.html – Alex Jun 1 '10 at 14:50
Have tried and result is the same. Could it be related to 64 bit OS somehow? I use Win 7 Ultimate x64 – EEE Jun 1 '10 at 15:22
That was my immediate thought, although on UVNC's site it says it's compatible. I assume you're trying from an admin account? Also try the "XP mode" if you have it. – Alex Jun 1 '10 at 15:39
Thank you very much for your responses. Changing connection speed from Auto to LAN solved the problem in UVNC. – EEE Jun 1 '10 at 17:51

You just need to download the following Remote Desktop connection client for your Mac and then use the Windows 7 IP address to establish a remote desktop connection from the Mac to the Windows 7 machine.
