Welcome to the first installment of "The Connected Concierge." Like any good concierge, this column is here to help. We will bring to bear our knowledge and that of outside experts to help solve problems for our readers. We also welcome short vignettes on how readers have found effective ways around issues ranging from networking a PC with, say, a lawn mower (as in controlling it remotely) to what to do if you find yourself on the road without dress shoes at midnight when you have an important business meeting at 7:30 in the morning. (Answer: Find a nearby golf course, which naturally opens at dawn, buy a pair of golf shoes, and have the locker attendant remove the cleats and shine 'em up.)
