[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1373633, member: 214663"] The way I understand this to work is that your HQ needs to configure their system to let your Mac access it. To this effect I understood that you will need to have a Static IP address on your phone line so that their server will always recognise you. You then gain access by whatever log-in procedures they require if any, usually by a web portal. I used to know this as a Virtual Private Network. Apple Remote Desktop is proprietary software designed for an administrator managing other Macs on a network. EDIT I've just re-read your OP and you seem to have the address and password, this should give you access via the web but can be limited depending how much your HQ restricts what you can do. Have you tried this yet..it should work in your web-browser..you don't need software . [/QUOTE]
