I use a MacBook during the day and I have two Windows servers that are remote that I want to access using my MacBook. I have VNC installed on the Windows CPUs, now I want to test controlling from my remote macbook.

What's wrong with the built in VNC client in Mac OS X? It's called "Screen Sharing".

Don't know .. noob here. How do I invoke it? find it? – mobibob Dec 5 '10 at 6:33
isn't that for others to view my screen?? I want to use my Mac to remote access my Windowz boxes. – mobibob Dec 5 '10 at 6:35
Run the screen sharing app, don't configure sharing settings. You'll get a dialog that looks like igadgetlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ScreenSharingApp.jpg – ta.speot.is Dec 5 '10 at 6:41
OK .. so from Finder -> %K (pop-up for servers) enter vnc://myserver and as long as myserver is network accessible and is running vnc server, I should be good to go ?! Correct?? – mobibob Dec 5 '10 at 18:54
