How do I connect MacBooks remotely
I know how to connect my Macs and screen share - at home using my wireless network.
But I do not know how to do this when one of the Macs is not on my local network.
I have tried doing everything I do when setting up file sharing, and screen sharing.
I have the person with the remote Mac do the same. I get the address and/or name that his sharing setup is showing him.
Then I go to my Main menu and select GO > Connect to Server, and enter that info.
After a couple of minutes or less I get "Connection Failed...the server may not exist or is unavailable..."
I am doing while talking to my friend over the phone and giving him these results. He and I try to make whatever changes we can think of but none of it works.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? And how to make this work?
Thanks
