when I'm at work I can connect to my mac from another computer with leopard as well as long as I can see it on the network but when at home and I can NOT see it on the same network I can't connect

I have tried vnc for ip address and its name but can't get in from home?

can anyone help please?

Your workplace very likely employs a firewall, which would block the ports for Back-to-my-Mac.

Good luck. IT folks are lock-down prone with all the PC's they have on their network.

You should ask them about a VPN option -- that way you could securely tunnel into the network from home and interact with devices and machines (e.g., your work computer) as if you were right on the LAN sitting at your desk.
