macrumors regular
I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I am trying to use Back To My Mac to connect to it remotely. It works 100% perfectly if it is already awake. However if it is asleep I cannot seem to connect. I have 'Wake for network access' checked in the energy settings. I have my correct Apple ID set up on not only the computer but also on my Airport Extreme. When I open a finder window on the computer I am using it shows my MacBook Pro under the list of shared computers. But clicking on it only returns a 'Connection Failed' message. If I have someone at home wake the computer I can then connect immediately so there are no problems with Back To My Mac there is only a problem waking the computer. Any ideas?
Wake For Wifi Network Access El Capitan
Jan 13, 2017 I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I am trying to use Back To My Mac to connect to it remotely. The wake for network access only wakes when the 'magic packet' or Wake On LAN. Apr 30, 2020 Remote access can also be explained as remote control of a computer by using another device connected via the internet or another network. This is widely used by many computer manufacturers and large businesses’ help desks for technical troubleshooting of their customers’ problems.
