Could someone please tell me how to access files on my Office PC from my Home
PC? Neither PC is not on a Network. I only want to access files, not control
the Office PC from my Home PC.

Any help would be great.

"Neither PC is on a network"..?

And how are you expecting to contact the machines?

Perhaps this might help...

Of course this presumes you have a modem attached to the PC you want to
connect to. You should also contact the office/work network admin, if they
exist, and make sure your not going to be violating any company policies
concerning connecting an untrusted system (your home PC) to a trusted system
(your office/work PC)...

I am hoping to connect over the internet using a broadband connection.

With Remote Desktop? If so see this page...Note the PC at the office must be
running XP Pro...

http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.or...eshooting.html

If its running XP Home or some other flavor of Windows look at UltraVNC with
its encryption plug-in...

http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

Make sure you contact your office network admins about this just to make
sure it is authorized. They may also provide or require VPN access to the
office network from an outside client.

Ooppsss... You only want to access files....

Then look at using a VPN or a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel and a program like
WinSCP. Personally I use SSH and WinSCP for encrypted file transfers to/from
my home desktop PC...

What OS is running on the work PC? Does your office run any type of server
like Windows 2003/Small Business Server/etc or are these all stand alone
PCs?

I'm afraid my Networking knowledge is very limited.

Office setup is just one PC. Home setup is just one PC. Both running Win XP.
