But I was able to connect to my PC , start up a movie , open up iTunes ( after which I used the regular Remote application ) , and check on other apps and processes . I have n't tried more interesting things like sending the machine to sleep or restarting it because Vista is a bit wonky even about services that should run on startup . A reboot might lock me out until I get back home !

Question: Was the internet service connecting ?
Answer: There was no service or signal in the areaThere was no internet connectionYes there was a connectionThere was only phone service
