In this process, do you set up your own .Mac account on the computer you want to view? If yes, then do you connect via ichat using the same account?

Mine still works after upgrading to 10.5.3.
I too had the good fortune of finding out that if my boy had his account up and I tried to contact home, whatever I initiated, chat, video, or screen sharing, it automatically accepted. I read the above posts and did what eteela suggested:
I disabled the auto run script in general alerts
“Then I would enable this script by specific user by using ’show info’ about a particular buddy in your buddy list and under ‘events’” (I used the Alerts tab) “select audio and/or video request and use the apple script option”. I am using the original script.
Now the only one who can automatically start screen sharing is my work account.

Has anyone who has updated to 10.5.3 begun getting connection errors when you try and connect from another computer now? Is this just coincidence that this begun for me right after i updated or are others dealing with this too?

So has anyone been able to solve the problem of the common script error that pops up with this concept? No matter which versions of the autoaccept script I try, I still get errors that require disabling the script.

Any solutions or explanations would be appreciated.

Thanks!
