yeah you can but its hard to say how without knowing exactly how your office network is layed out and setup but supposedly there is this neat thing called VPN that windows has its neat what it does is allows a user or users to connect to a network from some remote (not on site) location it takes there computer or network from one location and takes that network along with the one they want to access and makes a virtual network by combining the two into 1 that way you have access to all resources and stuff you set encryption how many users the conditions under which a VPN connection should be accepted or denied Its kinda new to me i am studying for my MCSA. but if your work has like an It department or if you guys have microsoft servers whoever maintains those should be(hopefully) qualified to set you up for that kinda thing just ask about VPN and tell them you want to access your office computer from your home computer email me and let me know what happens
