I can access my office computer via remote desktop but how can I access my
home computer from my office?

If your running XP Home at home look at UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in
and XP video driver...

You really need to check with your network admins at work about this. There
may be policies against connecting an untrusted system (your home PC) to a
trusted work network.

I have a similar issue. I want to access my home PC from work via remote
desktop. Reading the instructions from the first line, it says I have to
add users who are allowed to log into my machine via remote desktop.
When I go to enter object names, I enter my username@workNTdomain and
Windows can't resolve that. How do I enter who I am at work as a user?

Thanks,

Jim

Users are local to your home PC only. You need to be logged on your home PC
then add users if they are not administrators.
