From my macbook pro laptop, I can pull up and control the windows computer from anywhere in the building. After opening some ports on Windows firewall, it works great. Since the church computer runs Windows Vista, I couldn’t get RealVNC to work, so I had to download the free UltraVNC server. That made me think, could I do the same thing at church?Īfter a little experimentation, I’ve got it working. I even downloaded a VNC viewer for my ipod touch that lets me control my computer and see everything that is on the screen from my ipod. At home, I use it to control my desktop computer from anywhere in the house using my laptop. At my last company, we used a program called RealVNC to troubleshoot computers from a central location.

I’ve stumbled upon a pretty interesting solution. I’ve had to run back and forth from the stage to the sound booth to get everything working. At church, we have a dedicated desktop computer that runs Easyworship, but there have been several times for youth events or special services where we don’t have anybody there to run the system. Even if you are not familiar with the program, you can learn how to operate it in minutes. I highly recommend Easyworship because it is extremely easy to operate. We use it to project everything for our services: song lyrics, pictures, powerpoint files, Bible verses, videos, and dvd’s.
