[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1624779, member: 38864"] I never said to make changes on your dad's router. And no, you don't HAVE to make any changes on even your router. It's just more efficient for routing the connection if you are limiting it to one of the computers on the network, which was my impression. I thought you just wanted to access your Mac mini via your laptop while out. Just leave the router alone then. If you really want to KISS, then get an Apple router and use "Back to my Mac". Problem solved and no technobabble. Otherwise follow the previous instructions minus the changes to the router. The router will figure out what computer you are trying to connect to. Actually if you have 2 computers on the same network that have VNC on and you try to connect to one of them from a 3rd remotely, that I think that would be a problem unless you engage in some technobabblry. If that's going to be the case, just get an Apple router and call it a day. [/QUOTE]
