Does somebody know how to access my LAN on my office from the internet (web browser) from my home computer?

You have to know the IP address of your office computer. If your business uses a firewall you won't be able to tickle your office PC.

Try two things.
a) Have your LAN administrator install VPN support for your LAN or PC.
b) If you have a modem that's connected to your work PC, install a program such as PC anywhere that will allow you to dial in and control the PC remotely. Usually these type of programs will allow you to download files from/to the host and remote computers.
Hope this helps, Michael
