SSH is built for single port tunnels...
so you could add a tunnel for the intranet (to intranetserver:80)...
the Shared Directories need to spcifiy how they are shared...

Yeah what you want is a VPN...
i.e Connecting your home PC as if it was physically at the office...

I suppose it's possible,  I also suppose someone already built this...
but you would be better off installing a VPN software for this...

Are you sure of what you are doing?

If the company has a firewall then it wants to restrict access to the
companies machine...  Just because you can get around it don't mean you
should!  

Please talk with the IT people at you company...  

They often take remote accessing without permision as "Breaking in", and
get real upset...  

If you can convince them of the need, then you can get the firewall
changed for a VPN software...

Jerry

P.S.  VPN connections need alot more bandwidth than the SSH tunnels 
cause the VPN sends all messages for all protocols, where most are not
needed....
