How do I take control of another computer?

I've got two computers hooked up through the same router and hub, is there a way I can assume control of one via the other? I'd likle to be able to see what I'm doing too.How do I take control of another computer?
Yes. You can.


You can use Remote assistance feature through Windows Messenger or MSN messenger.





If you have atleast one Windows Vista computer then simply Start -%26gt; type remote assistance -%26gt; create a invitation and store it on the network





Open the invitation from the other computer.. you will have access to the other computer.. you can simply watch or take over the control





Good luck

It all depends on what OS you have: If you have windows XP Professional or Vista Business (sorry, home editions won't cut it), you would turn on remote desktop (right click on my computer and select properties, then go to the Remote tab and check the box) and then make sure you go to your Control Panel and to Security Center and to Windows Firewall and then to the Exceptions tab and check to allow Remote Desktop. Then if the other wasn't pro or business, you could download the remote desktop client (or they even have one for Mac)--just go to microsofts' site.





If you don't have pro or business (or you have Mac OS), try www.realvnc.com (and for Mac, you wouldn't need the server, just the client--turn on remote desktop in system prefs, which is compatible with vnc (just check the box to allow/create password for vnc viewers)).
