    Hi!
    I want to connect to a remote computer.
    I select Control Remote Computer.
    In the Control Remote Computer pane, I see "Connect to".
    I assumed that I need to enter an IP address there.
    Not possible; field too short.

    So - how do I connect to a remote computer, knowing only its public IP address, please?
    If I know a remote computer's host name, can I make that work? (Field too short)
    Example: "customer.softwarecenter.us:3390"

    I would be very grateful for tips on the basic steps I haven't been able to find out!

    You need to have the software installed on both machines first and generate creds on the target machine.

    Thank you! Now I understand! Shame: I won't be able to use CloudBerry Remote Assistant in that case - but it narrows down the possibilities I need to investigate!
