NoMachine is the only supported method of remote connection for Macs on campus. These instructions will show you how to remote into an office or research lab Mac device.

Note

NoMachine must be installed on BOTH computers. You can download the client for your personal machine here.

Note

You will need to know the IP address of the remote computer to be able to connect to it. Also, the remote computer you are accessing must be connected to the TAMU network via Ethernet.

Connecting from Windows

  1. Install the NoMachine client using the Self-Service Portal

    1. Please note, it may take up to 20 minutes to install. You will receive a security prompt once the software is installed.

  2. Connect to the TAMU network:

    1. If you are on campus, connect to the Wi-Fi network TAMU_WiFi or eduroam

    2. If you are off campus, connect to your local Wi-Fi network. Open the Cisco AnyConnect VPN application and log in with your NetIDand password.
