Controlling another Laptop/PC using 1:1 LAN

Previously I've posted about how to connect two PCs/Laptops using LAN, read about it here.

The connection established using that method can be used to control one Station using another.

You need the software called UltraVNC. Nice & easy to use, this app can be obtained freely using internet. The setup is pretty straightforward. If you want optimized connection use the downloads that the setup talks about. After that you can configure the PC you are trying to CONTROL FROM using this page. Only the first part will do. Ofcourse you need UltraVNC up and running on both the systems. Then just type in the IP address of the Station you want to control in the very first blank space and press "Connect". You should see the screen of the other PC. Probably with the wallpaper gone.

Problems: Everything is good and great except the mouse is weird in screens that are not in the same resolution. Which means playing pointer based games is an "Oh no!".
