"It's great for connecting to other machines on your LAN (e.g. connect to
"foo.local" to connect a host called "foo" ). Or if the other Mac is fully on the
Internet (i.e. not behind a router that does NAT IP address sharing or otherwise
blocking your connection attempt) you can connect by giving that Mac's
IP address to the prompt."

LAN, NAT IP address??? Where do I find these?

What does my mom need to do on her end? Just turn on "Screen Sharing"? Do we want Screen Sharing or Remote Management? It says you can't have both???

Thanks for the help.
