Title: Active home on laptop, cm15 on different computer
Post by: paizano1 on October 26, 2011, 06:12:29 PM
Hey all,

Is it possible to have ahp running on a laptop that is on a home network, and have the cm15 connected to a different computer on the network.

I have a computer in the basement that i have with the cm15 connected to and currently running ahp. would like to leave it in the basement, but want to be able to open ahp on a laptop in the upstairs so i can check status of things and so forth.

Also i already have a few tablets and my phones using autom8. so that works, but want to be able to add and delete modules and so on without having to always be a cellar dweller.

Thanx in advance for any help

I use VNC.
Same situation, PC in basement with cm15.
Obviously, it's not actually running on your laptop
But you can do everything you need.

I use a combination of VNC, LogMeIn.com, and Microsoft Terminal Services depending on where I'm connecting in from.
It works well for me.
