It would be very nice if WYSE would publish a simple
“How To” Readme file for us dummies who also want to be
able to utilize our home PC remotely. We’re not all IT pros, so what server IP is it they are requesting?
Your hope PC or Wireless router or your ISP server IP, or ?
That’s the problem with engineers writing directions for lay people.
