Does anyone know how I can connect to another Mac remotely? I want to
be able to connect to my daughter's Mac in Virgina, take control of her
mouse and navigate around to find solutions to her problems. Most of
the time I am able to 'talk' my way through but sometimes it takes
hours. It sure would be nice to have control of her mouse so that I
can navigate on her machine from mine.

I know there has to be a way.... Software??

If you want to be able to see her screen as well, look into VNC. If you
can get by just controlling her mouse and keyboard, take a look at
Synergy. That'll be a lot faster.

Have you looked into Timbuktu?

IIRC they allow it to be evaluated for some (short) period of time
before needing to purchase it.
