Here is my setup

Desktop at the office running Windows XP Pro - Router for internet connection - Remote Desktop activate

Laptop at home running Windows XP Pro - Dial up for internet connection - Remote Desktop activate

If I am online on Dial up how can I access my Desktop at home? What do I type in the addressbar?
 
Use the public IP of the work router, ie. the IP assigned by the ISP. Also, you need to have TCP
Port 3389 forwarded through the router to the private LAN IP of your office desktop.
