I don't have an iPad but am wondering if it might be a good way to access my home PC when travelling. I run Windows7 and I understand iPad has remote desktop-type apps but how do you actually get it working across home firewalls and all that stuff? Also are there any clever tricks to cope with my home PC needing a restart, or being allowed to standby/hibernate, so it doesn't have to be in full running mode 24/7?
+1 for both TeamViewer and LogMeIn. I was using TeamViewer until I was able to get work to foot the $29.99 for LogMeIn Ignition. – N_Lindz – 2011-03-16T13:32:28.597
So is the network stuff difficult, or relatively easy, for a experienced PC user who knows little about sys/network-admin? – Mr. Boy – 2011-03-16T14:49:26.970
Shouldn't be anything complex. Its just that every router and BIOS is different so most of the work is to find the right setting to change. The tricky part is that a computer that is asleep doesn't have an IP address so you have to forward the WOL port (usually UDP 9) to a broadcast address. – Mr Alpha – 2011-03-16T15:44:42.043
