Ok this is what I have done a few times I have a computer at home with mandrake 9.1 and vnc server. Ssh gets forwarded from my computer to my router and out to the net. I then take my laptop with me and I can access the computer from home from any where in the world. My laptop has Mandrake 9.1 and vnc client on it. At this point I just ssh in to the box at home and start vnc by typing vnclient on my laptop from the command prompt. But this kind of defeats the fact you don't want to take your laptop with you. I don't know how it works with windows so can't tell you about that.
