telnet and encryption

[Guest]

Hi,
I am trying to access my windows 2000 PC from work in a secure way.
I guess there are many options to do the same. But I have few restrictions:

I have many command line tools on home computer. So I don't know if that will work using "Access Your PC from Anywhere" kind of software.
My work place doesn't allow outgoing ssh connection. So ssh is ruled out.
I can do telnet to my home computer but not sure how to enable encryption in telnet.

Any help/pointers will be appreciated.

in your 2k start telnet service from administrative tools
in command prompt. There look for "Display change registry
settings" Look for NTLM settings. Use

Authentication options.
0: Does not use NTLM authentication. Useful for connecting
to and from other operating systems.
1: Tries NTLM authentication first. If it fails, use
username and password. Useful if you want to make
connections between computers running either Windows NT or
Windows 2000 and computers running other operating systems.
2: Uses only NTLM authentication. Useful if you want to
make connections between computers running Windows NT or
Windows 2000.

You can use your local Windows 2000 user name and password
or domain account information to access the Telnet server.
The security scheme is integrated into Windows 2000
security. If you do not use the NTLM authentication
option, the user name and password are sent to the Telnet
server as plain text.

If you are using NTLM authentication, the client uses the
Windows 2000 security context for authentication and the
user is not prompted for a user name and password. The
user name and password are encrypted.
