I am at home on my winxp pro connected to the internet through Dhcp router to
my cable company.  I think I have made all the remote things available that I
can.  I am trying to reach my computer at work which is on an ADSL by sprint
with a static IP that bridges to a DHCP router then to a Lynksys router with
DHCP in and out.  Can I get to my office computer? If so, how?  My office
computer is on a local domain  I.e. <computername.domain.local>  Office
computer is winXP Pro. both computers have SP2 installed?

Basically you need to port forward TCP Port 3389 through the ADSL modem, the
DHCP router (whatever brand that is) and the Linksys router. I would contact
your work network administrators for help with that...

I really appreciate your input.  I had seen the port forwarding concept for
3389 but was unsure that was the way to go.  You might be able to confirm
some of my proposed settings.  Sprint is my DSL provider.  We have opted for
a static IP through a Zyxel Prestige 645R-A1 Modem/Router.  I would propose
to set the NAT address to forward 3389 to 192.168.1.33 which is the outgoing
router DHCP-IP.  It then goes to a Linksys Router that acquires it.  I would
then forward 3389 through UPnP to my DHCP assigned computer IP address for my
office computer?  Or would I use the Range Forwarding Feature on the Linksys
Router?

For this to work properly static IP addresses are needed on the networks
inside your Zyxel modem/router including for the target PC. You then forward
TCP Port 3389 through all of the network components to the static LAN IP of
the next firewall/router and/or PC. Your going to need help from your local
office/work network administrators to do this.
