[QUOTE="Geri O'Neil, post: 80050, member: 25"] Re: Remote Desktop Protocol for Mac In playing with these remote apps (and spending waaay too much money on such a venture!), I think the gmail is for the "EZ" set-up of the connection. Splashtop, iTeleport, Screens, and Pocket Cloud all have an "advanced" setup feature, which is simply setting up the connection manually, using the IP address, user name, and password of the host machine. I had good luck with Pocket Cloud until recently, when it just stopped connecting, then crashing when I attempted to connect. It's funny that I'm reading this today as I am about to try iTeleport in place of Pocket Cloud. I'm also re-considering my choice of remote machine. Just before I read this, I was looking at the Apple website for MacBook Air machines. Ouch at the price and it woud suck to carry around a notebook with a full keyboard instead of just a slate. But I'm going to borrow a friend's Air for a couple of nights during the upcoming rodeo and see if it makes a better remote machine than the iPad. Then there this...
