Ello...
I'm on site this week (I work at home normally)
and I'm using remote XP to connect to my home pc to pick up code
samples etc, FTPing them to my server, and then picking them up here,
in the office..
buuuut...
I'd love to be able to connect to my home, via windows explorer
is this possible?
I've tried:
\\123.123.123.123\myComputerName\shareName\
(I've got several PC's on my home IP)
but it doesn't work...?
Do I need to open up a specific port on my router at home, or is this
just not possible..?
It'd just make copying files to theoffice ALOT easier!! ;-p
Thoughts?

Mapping is a network function. Access to resources is controlled by
network security settings so you have to be logged into the network.
And if you are using private network addresses behind an internal
router, the packets won't go anyway.
That's easy enough to arrange. Just hack your sever to allow everyone
to telnet. Then you and anyone else who's interested can login and
have a look around your server.
Alternatively if you don't want to share, there is vpn. It can be
costly but you can keep the rest of us riff-raff out.
Mostly, you'll be stuck with what you are doing. Cumbersome but
reasonably secure. You can never tell what kind of guests the rest of
us would be.
