Using Work Computer from Home

If your work computer is turned on and still in the office, you can connect to it from your home computer using VPN.

Ensure VPN is connected (network drives not required)

If it fails, try e.g. MMA123.tmcshade.local

You should check what your computer number/name is before leaving the office.  Also, ensure you leave it turned on.
