Access Work Network from Home

[Guest]

Hi.
I have several computers in my office working on a network. There are both
wired and wireless clients on it. I have a D-Link wireless router.
I want to be able to access this network from home in order to share files
with my co-workers at the office. Is this possible?
If so, what should I do?
My home computer was WinXP home. Those at the office have WinXP Pro.
Thanks in advance,
Albert C

Remote Desktop can not be used for any access requests on a Home version. You
can only use Remote Desktop to request a connection from a Home version.
