the Pre and the PC have to be on the same segment or pocket mirror won't work over wifi. In that case I use blietooth, but it was a pain to set up and I haven't configured it since I replaced my pre to even remember the steps.
so, wifi is great under the right circumstances. For others, bluetooth. USB works for everyone, but its soooo 2005...
Hence the word I used 'IntRAnet'! However, you are correct an IntRAnet could include different subnets within the IntRAnet.
However, for home usage, I doubt very strongly that someone would have different subnets in their home.
I guess I was only thinking about using Pocketmirror at home, not at your business, and using the company's network (IntRAnet).
I'm sorry, I tend to see things from my point of view and usage. I use Pocketmirror from home. I have not worked in a cooperate environment in years.
Most people doing this in an office environment would 99% of the time be using Microsoft's Enterprise Outlook, an Exchange Server (which probably would not work with Pocketmirror) and not a local Outlook setup.
But that would be a perfect use of Pocketmirror as long as your IT staff doesn't go ape over this.
Remember, you would have to alter your 'firewall' (on your computer) for this to work correctly.
I know there are companies that don't turn on Microsoft's (or any other local Firewall) Firewall system since that is controlled by their routers on the cooperate network.
Thanks for clarifying my usage of IntRAnet!
