Cannot access inactive work computer
I work from home two days a week and when I try to access my computer at work from home, it will not connect because my computer is "asleep". When my coworker activates my computer (doesnt even have to log in) I then am able to connect. Is there any way around this so I don't have to depend on someone from work to activate my computer?
Thanks,
-Lauren

Hello lemonro,
Yes there is a way around this issue! You could setup a wake on lan. I'll show you in a short guide how to do it.
1. Go to "Extras". 2. Go to "Options".3. In the "General" tab you go to "Wake-on-lan". 4. Click the "Configure..." button and from here configure it with you're pc that you want to wake.
I hope this helps,
