Is there any possible way to wake my pc from school (which runs OS X) and then use it as a Remote Desktop?

Thanks in advance ;)

well not sure how apm on mac works but i guess so if your school have such a low security so they let people remote their internal pc's
if so it's a wonder if any of them are working at all
well maybe the fact that they are mac's may keep some h@xorz running screeming away :P

it's easier for them to block every port they dont use
to be sure they get the best secutirty
so that mean block it both ways
they dont typicaly just want to protect their network from the world
but also protect the world of users of their network
it's pretty std unless they are a bouch of amatures ;)

p.s. because every outgoing request you as a user can do a trojan can do as well ......

I suppose,

btw. by the state the network is in at the moment, you would think they would ametuers. They had a guy in from Apple for about 2 weeks trying to get the server working again, after one of the technitions broke it :confused:

thanks anyway Rudgar ;)
