1. Run a copy of HotkeyNet on a home computer. Set the copy to be a server. It will be a server exactly like a web server. Make sure your home PC's firewall and network hardware are configured to allow this. This is the tricky part.
2. Run copies of HotkeyNet on the library computers. Set them to be clients. On Connection Settings, where it asks for the server's IP address, enter your home PC's IP address. It has to be the external address (the one that is seen by the outside world, not the one that the home PC sees behind its network hardware.)
3. Load HotkeyNet scripts on whichever computer(s) you're typing on. With HotkeyNet, client/server has nothing to do with scripts. You load scripts and press hotkeys on the computer(s) that you type on regardless of whether they are clients or servers.
Edit: It might be easiest to set this up for the first time with a friend over the phone. One of you at the library and the other one at home.
