Back to my Mac

HI there,


On my iMac 27", back to my Mac is enable under iCloud.

On my Macbook Pro, with the same iCloud, when I am within the same local network, the iMac27" is shown under SHARED finder windows.

Problem - when I am at remote location, with internet, let's say Hotel, I do not see the iMac27" under Shared folder.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Hi Carolyn,


I have followed this to a T. My airport utility is 7.6.7

On my Macbook Pro, within the SAME local network, since I see the iMac 27 under Shared, my setting in the iMac 27 is correct.

On my Macbook pro, externally, I do not see iMac 27 under Shared. I see other computers within the same network but NOT the iMac 27.

On my Macbook pro, under finder/preferences/sidebar, BACK TO MY MAC, connected servers, and Bonjour computers are all checked.

My iMac is on at my home and Security & Privacy, Firewall is OFF.

What else can i try?

Thanks
