Can you provide a few more details about the operating environment (what OS is running at home & at work).

Also, have you tried talking to a supervisor/boss/network admin about this? If you're wanting to do work from home (off the clock, presumably), I'm sure they would gladly accommodate it! :P

Thanks for reading my thread!

I'm currently working in a strict windows environment. Xp pro on both pc:s
Yeah I know, they like that I do work from home but if I am to do work from home I need to take my computer with me since the computertech company we have hired has a very strict policy with not letting anyone in or outside the network. It's actually pretty stupid.. I have managed to connect to the servers shared folders from home although I'm not supposed to so I will leave it at that. I'm just thinking that it should be so hard to set up some kind of fake adress that works like a http-forward? fakeadress.net = serveratwork/mycomputerbehindfirewall
If the computer stands as a server and keeps an open connection to a webhost or something like that..

I would be careful of going against company policy. While your boss might like that you work from home if someone else doesn't it can be an easy grounds for dismissal. Just be careful and be ethical :).

If you were on a mac or linux box I'd suggest a reverse ssh tunnel. Not sure what you can do on Windows.

First off, i echo what MF said.

I love me a reverse SSH tunnel -- you can accomplish that with cygwin and SSH on Windows.

Your other option is a service like Log me in. It loads software up on your computer at work. Then you login to their website at home and access your computer through a web browser. Works on Mac or Windows. They have a free personal edition.

I echo MF and others that trying to circumvent your company's security policies is not a good way to go. If you disagree with them, start a discussion about what you need and see where it can lead.

The way you've asked the question makes me think that you're not entirely sure about what you actually need. You are describing the solution you have identified—that you need to be able to remotely connect to your computer at work from outside the network. Can you discuss why you want to do this? What is the original problem you are trying to solve? It may be that collectively we can come up with a totally different solution that hadn't occurred to you, that would work within your company's security processes and still meet your needs.
