Q: Cannot login remotely with Back to my Mac
I have previously followed the Apple instructions to set up my MacBook Pro (El Capitan) at home to allow Back to My Mac and when I am at work David's MacBook Pro duly appears under Shared in Finder.
I must have done something correct as I can get Share Screen working perfectly by entering my user name and password however I cannot get Connect As... working, each time it says Connection Failed. I am doing something right as if I mistype the password then immediately it does the shimmer/shake to say it is a mistake.
The domain name of my home computer is Davids-MacBook-Pro.local and I have tried entering the username as:
Davids-MacBook-Pro.local\David Anson
Davids-MacBook-Pro\David Anson
David Anson
but all to no avail
Any idea where I am going wrong?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11), 10.11.4
