Yes, I have used vnc successfully for a while, but trying to get my Dad, who lives in Cal, to do such  is not a battle I am willing to fight - I once told him to "right click" and he wrote "click", surprisingly without success.  :)

I know of the different methods for remote administration, but I was curious if anybody has had success with this specific method.  Aren't these invites handled by PC Anywhere?
