I have checked for this topic but I was only able to find sporratic, half-answers to this question. (That, or it was far too technical to make heads or tails of the whole thing). So apologies if it seems like a repost.
What I want to do is seemingly straightforward, but apparently not.
I want to switch on Apple File Sharing in the Sharing pane of System Preferences of my home mac. And then I want to log into the home mac from an iBook, across the internt, somewhere far away from my local area network.
My shared home mac is connected to the ineternet on your standard, average, everyday DSL home broadband connection which is running DHCP and feeding 4 other computers in the house.
What address should I type in on the remote iBook to access the home shared mac? Typing in the DSL's main IP address under the Finder's "Connect To server" is obviously not the trick, nothing happens. Any input in plain english for non-network-engineers would be helpful, thanks in advance!
