Im new to this VNC thing. Do I have to be connected via WiFi to access my computer? Is it possible to access it using 3G? Also I have a MacBook Pro, can I access it while it's in sleep mode? Sorry if these are dumb questions. I've never messed with this before.

Thanks!

I've used it to access my home Windows PC (running RealVNC server) over WiFi and 3G. I'm sure it will work over EDGE as well. Unfortunately, I can't answer the sleep mode question for you. Most likely no as your computer typically will not listen to the network while asleep.
