Thanks.
(Sorry for all the posting confusion)

The statement in your initial post "When at home I would
like to use remote desktop to access my home machine"
appears to contradict your latest post. In it you say that
both the home and the work machine are, in fact, at your
home, inside the same network . . .

Run the following commands from a Command Prompt
on the home PC:
ping HomePC
telnet HomePC 3398

What response do you get?

Both Machines are running XP Pro. The Router is running DHCP and both
machines are excepting DHCP. Theonly firewall on either machine is XP's
native firewall. I am not forwading a port as I did not believe I needed
to
as both machines are inside the network? The only things that I can think
of
that have changs is that i put my vonage router in the dmz of the linksys
and
set the Qos for the vonage router on the linksys router and I add a secodn
video card to run a second monitor on the home machine.

Give me questions if you got them!

I have two XP machines. One for work that is on my work domain and
one
for
home. When at home I would like to use remote desktop to access my
home
machine. I was able to do this in the past but not currently. We are
connect through a Linksys router. I have turned on remote access on
the
home
machine and ping the IP address of the home machine from the work
machine.
I
can not ping the name of the home machine.

Any help would be great!

You need to provide much more information, e.g.
- Which OS does the home PC run, XP Home or Professional?
- Does the home PC have a fixed internal IP address?
- Does your home installation have a fixed external IP address?
- Did you create a tunnel for port 3389 in your LinkSys router?
- What firewall do you run on the home PC?
- What's changed since it last worked?
