In my office, there are 30 PCs with windows & 5 iMacs. All are connected with LAN & internet. Now, I have seen the "TeamViewer" for accessing others computer using current computer. Is it possible to make a remote connections with Mac OS X & Windows? Specifically, can someone operate a Mac, from a Windows PC, using remote login? If so how, and what software is needed?

You can do this using any one of the numerous VNC programs. I prefer UltraVNC: UltraVNC will be great on the Windows side, and for setting up the Macs, these directions should help: Wiki-How Article on setting up VNC on OS X They will both play nicely with each other. You will be able to connect from Mac to Windows and vice versa. | |||

Apple machines provide remote desktop support via its own app or a VNC viewer. There's a windows remote desktop client for mac if I recall correctly. | |||

If it was for non-commercial use I'd recommend LogMeIn Free, which is easier to setup and administer than VNC - I mostly use TightVNC or UltraVNC. | |||||

If the Mac has Leopard or above, it already has remote desktop support; you just need to enable it under Preferences, set up a VNC viewer on your Windows machine, and link the two. From Windows, I use PuTTY to ssh into my Mac with a tunnel for the vnc port and then open up TightVNC to view and control my Mac's desktop. (Setting up a secure tunnel might not be necessary since all of your computers are networked though.) You may find this useful: | ||||

Depending on your network setup and your needs, you can use the built-in VNC as stated above, but you can also use free or non free remote access softwares like Yuuguu or SparkAngels. See refs : http://technologie.fgranger.com/index.php/post/2009/05/11/Control-a-Mac-remotely | |||
