OK, I thought it was going to be easy. I've installed Remote Desktop in both my phone and PC (desktop + metro), followed steps to allow remote access, but have yet to succeed. I read somewhere that I need to use static IP?
What about my phone's "Device Hub"? My PC is listed as a device but can never succeed, saying I'm not connected to the internet... sigh
