Thanks, I understand routers but my Mum has a modem right now. I might change it later. Does the modem remain connected or will it time-out and disconnect (or is that down to the computer?)

Just for clarification, I'm doing a 300m mile round trip to connect her Mac Mini tomorrow. I can access it remotely from my home, using VNC, provided the IP address doesn't change. (Yes, I know she can tell me the IP address, in theory, but she's 75).
