There's no problem doing a remote Pogoplug install, just make sure you know the identifier code of the Pogoplug you want to install (26-digit alphanumeric code on the bottom of the Pogoplug). When you go through the install wizard, it will try to locate the Pogoplug automatically, but not find it because you will not be on the same LAN. It will then ask for your identifier - type it in and you will be all set.
