Default Multiple user desktop sharing app?

I need to share a machine between two people, so both can see and interact with the desktop. Any recommendations? Free preferably!

We're using Win 2003.

Cheers

Didn't know VNC could do that. Thanks - I'll check it out.

I'm fairly sure it does. There's also Remote Administrator...

Radmin - Remote Administrator - General Info: Speed, Security and Reliability, Easy to Use

It's the one I use in the office, but it's not free...

p.s. Did you mean interact with the same desktop or each user have their own unique desktop on the machine? It wasn't clear from your post so I assumed the first...

Yes the same desktop Iain. I'm trying to debug some code with someone in Manchester... it's a long drive!

Aha. I use Radmin to debug code on machines in the USA (from the office in Newbury - so an even longer drive), so it does work

So will Radmin allow us both to hook into the same machine? I want to talk the Manc guy through it.

Yep. Basically you see their desktop in a window. When you move the mouse about in the window on your machine, it moves about on their machine (and vice versa). You just have to make sure you don't both try to move it at the same time
