With screen sharing, Mac users
can control the mouse and keyboard of one computer while sitting at another computer across the room or on the other side of the world. In a new ebook, "Take Control of Screen Sharing in Snow Leopard," networking expert Glenn Fleishman walks readers through the steps for identifying, configuring, and using the screen-sharing option that best meets their needs. For those who want to get the most out of Apple's MobileMe-based Back to My Mac file- and screen-sharing feature, Fleishman has also written a companion ebook, "Take Control of Back to My Mac." Each title costs $10, or they can be purchased together for $15 at

In the 136-page "Take Control of Screen Sharing in Snow Leopard," Fleishman helps readers determine which form of screen sharing to use: iChat, Bonjour, direct to IP address or hostname, Back to My Mac, or a third-party option such as Skype or an iPhone app. He then explains how to set up and work with each option, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Questions answered in the ebook include:
* What can I do with screen sharing, anyway? * What's the best way to set up an ad hoc screen-sharing session? * What's the best way to use screen sharing for remote tech support? * How can I copy text from one computer to another while screen sharing? * How can I share screens with an older Mac or a Windows computer?

In the 95-page "Take Control of Back to My Mac," Fleishman changes gears to focus on Back to My Mac, which enables MobileMe subscribers to connect from one Mac to another for file and screen sharing, making it possible, for instance, to download a forgotten document or to control a home computer from a laptop while on a trip. In this book, readers will find essential details on configuring routers to work with Back to My Mac and learn about the security implications of using Back to My Mac. They'll also learn how to access remote disks attached to AirPort Extreme Base Stations and Time Capsules.
Questions answered in the ebook include:
* What smoke and mirrors is Apple using to make a Back to My Mac connection work?
* Should I be concerned about securing my Back to My Mac connection? * Help! I'm double-NATted, and it's really bugging me! What should I do? * How do I erase all traces of my Back to My Mac info from a public computer?
