Is there a way to access my desktop at work from home?

I have a cable modem at home and my desktop at work is connected to a ADSL 1meg modem.



Does Remote Access only work through traditional modems?

    Some ideas:



    Timbuktu on both machines with port 407 open on the work firewall.



    Filesharing over TCP/IP with a static IP address on the remote machine.



    Run an FTP server on the remote machine with FTP ports open on remote filewall.



    Run a webserver on the remote machine.



    Depends on what the firewall lets in and what you are trying to achieve.
