edit: your tablet should have come with splashtop which allows you to remote desktop. its a pretty sweet app as long as you have a really good connection.
I tried that and am still running into problems. For some reason, when Im at home, I can connect to the computer via cloud. But when I try to connect to it from class, it doesn't connect. I'll have to keep trying.Quote:

Yea my university said they blocked that feature. I can connect to my server via ftp but they blocked the splashtop...Quote:

well it will surely leak, unless they make a dedicated install image for each hardware configuration without drivers for anything else.
My work blocked Splashtop but if you manually entered in the IP it would work. I just had to setup port forwarding on my home router. When you do that you don't need to enter your google account, might be worth a shot.
Well use cloud on my tablet. I have to manually input the iP when I'm a school but still blocked. Thoughts?Quote:
