Are you trying to connect from home to work, or from work to home or what? I'm confused? But no, my Laptop is on a Domain (which I'm the admin of) at work and when I'm at home on our DSL I can connect into my work machines just fine. I don't even have to use my VPN, but I have public IP's on all of them. If you're going from work back to home, your home router probably doesn't know to pass the RemoteConnection packets on to your home computer, instead it just tosses them aside thinking they're junk.
