The Control Menu

The Control menu includes a number of options that you may change before or
during a screen-sharing session. Some options are not available except during an
active screen-sharing session.

Most importantly, you may change the color depth for image data sent from a re-

Setting IP Locator Preferences

When you set up Timbuktu Pro, you can enter your email address on the IP Locator
tab in the Preferences dialog box. When you specify an email address here, it is
registered with the Internet Locator server. Remote users can then connect to your
computer by entering your email address on the TCP/IP tab in the New Connection
Window. Users will not need to know your IP address to make the connection.
