Some of it will depend how locked down her office network is.

My wife had to go to a local Wendy's to download the proper files to be able to even use the network at her office. The network is locked up very tight at the University where she works. I guess with tons of students they have to be very careful with acces to the network.

Hi guys,

It was until you showed up

[Geronimo '74]

Oops, sorry...

there you go using them nerdy words!!!! RDP? huh? I know enough about IT to have the phone number on speed dial!!!!!!

[Porsche-poor]

Man I wish I could get the car out. Rain rain and lots more rain. I should go sit in it so its not lonely.......

Remote desktop protocol. Only bad thing is screen size, too small.

[slodave]

I wish I could get my 911 out as well and it's not even raining here. New tires should be on the way though... I just wish I could get some gas in the tank before it gets too expensive.

[Porsche-poor]

gas? There is that issue as well. Thanks for the explanation. I'll have to fine someone with an ipad or the google one and try it.

[slodave]

It's more than just installing the app. If it's at an office, firewall ports need to be opened, RDP has to be enabled on the office pc...

[Porsche-poor]

she can take control of her office machine from the home pc and read these emails but was looking for a portable way of doing it and the Droid will not.

[GH85Carrera]

With the VNC that I use I can run my work computer from my iPhone.

[nynor]

mushrooms getting ready to produce again!

[Porsche-poor]

If that moves I'd shoot it................

Oh and thanks guys for the IT info. I think I just need to get one in my hands and try it.

Sounds like she needs something that will do vpn and vnc ie., remote access. Especially if the "files" are trying to open local pc/local network resources.

We do a LOT of that kind of stuff at the company I work for. You have to do VPN to work on anything from off-site. Users are always having connectivity problems with the resources, even when users are on the local network. Many of our users are going iPad and are loving it.

Last Friday there was a HelpDesk issue posted saying the FORKLIFT couldn't access the internet, yes, the Forklift. I have no idea why that would be an issue.

[nynor]

i am gonna cook it and eat it.
