I am travelling and before I left home I set my Desktop PC
(with XP pro) to accept remote users and then tested a
dial-up from my lap-top to the dek-top through a dial-up
out to my ISP and tunnelled back in through my cable modem
and it all worked very well. While out of town I set my
computer to hibernate with closed down monitor and had
disks. Now I am interstate and I don't think I can wake
up the computer. Should I expect that the remote access
connection would automatically wake-up the desk-top
computer?
