Home to Work connection

There is no way to answer this question without knowing how things are set up/configured at work. Your best bet would be taking this issue up with whoever is responsible for maintaining computers at your job.

The easiest solution would be some remote control. PcAnyWhere or VNC are among the most well known, but there are others.

Simply said, your work PC needs to have a modem and the "host" version of your remote control software. Your home PC needsa modem as well, and the "remote" version.

What you do is you let your "remote" dial your "host", and then you control the work PC's keyboard and mouse, and you see its screen, from home. So that would include network drives, internet connections, CD writer and so on - though you cannot insert CDs of course ;-). Those kinds of software include a file transfer program, so you can upload or download files from/to home as well.

You could go further. Enable dialback, to let the office becharged. If you have a router-with-modem both at home and at work, you can "call" an IP number, and both modems will take care of things. This could allow you to access multiple PCs, without needing a modem in all.

Well, I need some more info to answer you. First what do you want to achieve?, what's your newtwork environment?.
There are a lot of remote managment software on the market. You have to have a modem at home and another one in you work (office). Youcould use PcAnywhere to connect both ends, you could setup a VPN connection as well; but it depends on what do you want to do with it.
Please e-mail me back with your specifications and I'll help you.

Some more info would be helpful. Does your company allow you to dial in or use a VPN connection ? If so you could install VNC software on your PC's and log in to your work PC from home. VNC is a freeware that is like PC anywhere. You can download it from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
If you company does not allow you to Dial in then you are out of luck. Unless you want to break into your companies network.

Go to netopia.com and look at timbutu Pro. It will work with full time connections to the internet or dial up. It will open an window on the calling computer and let you do anything that computer will do.

Note. I recommend a fast internet connection on both ends, otherwise the operation is going to be slow and jerky at times.

Good Luck Lee
