LAN means the local network, say in your house, with 2-3 computers connected by an Airport or router, correct? I tried to connect to my MacBookPro and the PowerBook from my new iMac using the GO>Connect to Server. I kept getting a message that said incorrect password or user name and I KNOW they were correct. (I use the same one for all the computers.) So I could not connect with Screen Sharing. Also, would I have to be home to use the Screen Sharing?
