  • Does Apple Remote Desktop work when monitor is asleep?

    Does Apple Remote Desktop work when monitor is asleep? I set up a
    router and a Mac Mini at a location far from home. The Mini is running
    OSX 10.4 and ARD3 with VNC. While still at that location, I verified
    that the Mini accepted VNC connections from outside the router (I set
    up port forwarding on the router, of course, and VNC-ed into it from
    outside the router). Now that I'm back home I can no longer VNC into
    the Mac. It says "connection failed." The only thing I can think of is
    that on the Mini the energy saver feature turned off the monitor. Is
    there any chance that this would affect ARD or VNC?

    Thanks.
