Connect to your computer remotely
There is a service that is called LogMeIn that will allow you to connect to your home or work computer remotely for free. LogMeIn makes their money by charging for a premium version of their product with more features called LogMeIn Pro.
To get started you need to register at LogMeIn, then you would add the computers you want to access, it will install some software on those computers, in the future you would simply go to logmein.com and click on the computer you want to connect to.
It's important to note that if you install this software on your work computer (or any computer that you don't own) you should get permission first. Many companies have their own VPN and security in place and may frown strongly on a product like LogMeIn.
Another service that is very similar, however does not have a free offering is called GoToMyPC from the same people that make GoToMeeting, Citrix Online.
