In a nutshell, you have to initiate and configure the VNC port under the item "firewall" in the system settings. [system settings -->share --> firewall) Done so, you discover there are three ports available: 5900, 5901 and 5902. Meaning, entering, in my case, 192.168.2.15:5900 at the eCS desktop then renders magically the fully controllable MAC desktop onto the eCS computer. And not only it works, it works rather well. And yes, I can controll the other eCS computers with for instance 192.168.2.12:0 ecc.. ecc.. I even can controll any of the eCS computers from the MAC using the sourceforge "Chicken ecc..." viewer. So, in the end, I'm very pleased. Thank you very much. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
