Id like to be able to run ftp and telnet to my home machine from work...normally this works fine. Today I thought I would just boot up my home machine to the login and leave it there to save some processor...theoretically this is supposed to work? I called another friend (this is b4 I left for work) and had him log in...this worked. I left for work and when I arrived couldnt log in...hmm
Called my girlfriend and had her log in locally...now I could get in again from work...weird I logged out remote , then came back an hour later...couldnt connect to or ping my machine...called her up again and had her startx thinking maybe I needed something running full time to have the remote network access. Now things are working remotely without the hitch. Now, my questions are: 1)Does remote network access depend on users logged in locally? 2) If a user is logged in locally and times out so to speak from not doing anything will this cut off remote access? Thanks guys -Ethan
