connecting from the office to my home

[John Gray]

The firewalls on both boxes are disabled.
I can reach my home machine from my friends house.
I don't have the VNC server running on the office machine.
I am behind a Netgear router at home.
I am behind 'something' at work.  Huge (32 Floor) office building.
