The latest venture was a request by fellow Mac enthusiast, Oren to somehow connect to a Windows based machine using a Mac. The easy answer was to use Parallels or Fusion. However, considering this a challenge, I researched this on the web. Turns out that the Mactopia site has RDC for Mac! http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx
So I downloaded the 2.0 Beta because the current version is for Power based Macs and I am running the Air, an Intel based Mac. Since my windows based machine in on the company network, I also had to download the Nortel VPN client. After installing both pieces, the only other configuration to figure out was the machine name. Given that I am using a personal machine to tap into the company network, I had to use the full machine address. Voila!
