Remote access from home

[Guest Man T]

I got home and office pc are both XP SP3.

Any suggestion how do I access my work PC from home? How do I get my work PC

exposed to 'public'?

You don't want to "expose" it at all. There are a lot of different

ways. Ask your network administrator or

Is the Office PC installed with Windows XP Professional or some other

version? Is it on a domain(server)-controlled network or just a stand-alone

or part of a workgroup?

Ask your network administrator to set up a VPN or give

you an RDP session.

Punching holes in your corporation's network security can get you in big

trouble, including getting fired. Talk to them on how to access your

work host from home. If they haven't setup a secure means of allowing

remote access then you doing such is a violation of their policies.

Remember that it is NOT your property. It is THEIR property. If they

deliberately choose not to allow remote access to their work hosts then

you don't do work from home (that uses those hosts). Do you think they

would also allow you to tap into their business phone system to listen

in on conversations from home without their permission?

You're assuming an awful lot. Could be "the office" or "work" simply refers

to a small professional's office where the OP is actually the one in charge

and the network, if any, is a simple peer-to-peer workgroup setup. Could be

it's a simple matter of configuring firewalls.

 

Which is why I asked the questions I asked.
