You call the public IP of the PC your trying to connect to or the public IP of the
firewall/NAT/router.
Its also possible the DSL modem at the office is a router. If you run ipconfig from the command line
on the target PC at work, do you get a 192.168.X.X address? Is so you need to forward TCP Port 3389
on the DSL modem/router...
