How you’re going to stay in touch with your home PC is something to consider. For example, online banking, or programs you cant have on your laptop.
SETUP:
- I installed DynDns on my home computer so I always know the IP of your home computer. Map DynDns to your personal hostname.
- Setup wake on lan in bios.
- In my case, I had multiple PC, so I mapped router to my PC’s MAC address so it always gets the same IP internally, and set my PC to static IP (just in case).
- Next, punch some holes in your firewall: 7/9 for wake on lan, 3389 for remote desktop.
- I also installed Live Mesh so I could access some folders off-line.
- Synch the folders you need most often with live mesh. Send yourself an email with your DynDns domain name & your pc’s MAC address.
Connecting:
Connecting is pretty easy. I use http://www.wakeonlan.me to wake my PC, then use either Live Mesh or Remote Desktop to connect.
