You could also install Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc) on both your PC at
home, your PC at work and your dad's PC and not have to worry about
port-forwarding as you have a "meeting point" outside all the firewalls that
you use to connect the various machines together. You control who has access
to your "network" so it's pretty safe... Take a look at that site and see if
that helps.
