Best way to connect with home PC...

I've had my new iPad for almost a week now. One thing I tried doing was trying to establish a remote access between my iPad and home PC. I tried Spashtop and it works great.... as long as I'm at home. Once I stray from my humble abode I get a message that tells me that it is unable to establish a connection with my PC.

My question is this. What's a good program that will actually allow me to connect to my PC from work or is there something that I have to do to get this program to work. Thanks...

To connect when away from home you need to go to one of the network tabs and update with a google email account. Then go to settings and internet discovery in the app and upadte with same email Then you can connect when away from home. That is what I did and it works great when at home or away from home. You just have to be connected to Internet. Hope this helps.

Do I do this on my home PC or on the iPad and how do I do that?

Have you opened the com port on your router to let Splashtop through?

I downloaded the part of the program to the PC and have the passwords. Beyond that I have no clue what you mean bt opening the com port on my router. How do I do that?

Thanks.....:confused:
