What product are you using? You posted in the Managed Backup section. Are you connecting using Managed Remote Desktop or are you using the free Remote Desktop?

Sorry new to the forum

Remote desktop freeware is what I am using David.

That's fine. I can move the post.

If you're connecting over the internet, you'll need to make sure Ports 80 and 443 are open at the friends house. 80 for unencrypted and 443 for encrypted connections.

when you say when you got home to set it up, what do you mean exactly? Were you using a different computer than the one you used when you're at the friends?

I was using my laptop on her wifi network and was able to connect to her computer and also able to connect to my home computer which is a desktop.

So from your friend's house you could connect to another computer within that network and you could connect over the internet to your computer at home. But the problem you're having is connecting to your friends computer from outside her home, right? If so you'll have to check the ports to make sure that those ports are open for incoming connections at her end.

Ok will check that when I get there
