Are you asking if you can remote from your Mac into the windows portion you've installed? If so I don't think so.

But you can easily remote into any pc using a variety of programs: Remote Desktop Connection comes with your Mac, Teamviewer is another good one. LogMeIn is great but I don't believe it is free anymore.

You can but you have to be careful, are you trying to do it for work purposes?

Does your work offer a VPN for their network?

If not try and install teamviewer on both the Mac and PC it's pretty straightforward for the most part if not I can help you.

Hahahah I am halfway to get one and another because I work in IT 5 days a week!

The xxx.xxx.xx.xxx is the IP address of the computer you want to connect to. You'd possibly need to be connected to the VPN though if you use this method. It's not a bad thing honestly to have on your personal comp, I have 2 on mine.

Remote Desktop is found in your utilities folder but on your Mac just hit Command + Space and then type in remote and it should pop right up.

Okay my bad It comes with Microsoft office...I'm an idiot.

http://www.teamviewer.com

This software is very easy to use. Just install it on both computers, if you can't figure it out I can help you. Very sorry for the confusion btw.

Teamviewer is probably the most popular.

Meaning?
I want to get into my work network without using VPN - does that work?

Install two operating systems on your PC. USE Mac for personal stuff and Windows for work.

Or, you know, wiki it:

Two very different things.

You seem very sure of that for someone who doesn't know how to do what you want to do lol. If it's a Mac issue this is your best bet.

If you want to access a specific workstation you could VNC over the internet?

Right Tony? :unsure:
