Thanks Guys,
I commute home everyweekend ;so i guess just taking my laptop
home would be the simplest solution or the e-mail suggestion sounds good
too. Yup come to think of it; I wouldn't want people tunneling into my home
network; so if I ran the IT dept. at a major midwestern university I
wouldn't allow it either!! Didn't think I guess! LOL

Chuck,
Thanks for the clarification. A Virtual Private Network
huh?
Sounds sorta difficult but; The o.s of the laptop is XP PRO and the
printer on the home pc;the home pc is XP Home. Can it work? and if so?
where do I
find info about it? The router is a Linksys and they do have a DDNS
service I can sign up for if that helps.

You should ask your college IT people about this. If they allow it, they
can tell you how to do it.
