At this point I am trying only to be able to log into my own desktop from my laptop at any location. The desktop was set up to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. Am i correct in thinking I have to set it to go to sleep "never" in order to be able to contact it from a remote location?
Also, it seems to me to generate a new password for the desktop, every time it is rebooted. Is that in fact what is happening? If so I have to use a new logn PW every time the desktop gets restarted - which might be every few days. Is this correct? And is there a way to bypass this without compromising security?

The basic setup for what you described:
- Windows Power: Yes, the computer needs to stay on. Make sure the computer doesn't go to sleep and the network adapter says on.
- Start TeamViewer with Windows. Extras > Options > General > Start with Windows
- Set personal password. (make it a good one!) Extras > Options > Security
Start TeamViewer with Windows
I don't work for TeamViewer. I'm just a user.1
