from work computer put in "your ip:5800" or whatever port you picked.

get your ip by going to www.whatismyip.com

I setup multiple computers by ports 5801, 5802, 5803, etc

thats a good way to get your documents, etc. but when you use VNC you are sending a real-time representation of a desktop. 32 or 16 million colors... if you have a slow download at work or a slow upload at home this will lag it up. you can set up your computer to accept the incoming connections without actually seeing your home desktop. much faster.

For VNC, I recommend UltraVNC
