Use Apple Remote Desktop with Macs behind firewalls
If you need to control the screen of a few machines behind various routers, assuming you (a) have money to spend and (b) don't already own ARD, you should really consider using Timbuktu.

I'll second the comment about using Timbuktu. I bought it to support my sister and mother-in-law across the country and it is very slick. Easy to configure for routers (they both have DSL). Timbuktu works really well across the internet, you can reduce the colors and shrink the screen if you have to, and also do things like swap files and clipboards. The other nice thing is that Timbuktu works with PCs, if you have any unfortunate family members stuck on that platform and you get drafted (i.e forced by the wife) into helping them since you are "the computer geek" for the family!

And on that note -- why note just have the remote user setup a reverse (-R) tunnel and just use that? |
