I have a Windows XP Professional workgroup all sitting on a Linksys router.
I am attempting to connect to one of my PC's from work using Remote Desktop.
Can anyone point me to a URL that shows how to configure the router, PC, and
work computer to make the connection work?

Thanks in advance!
 
You need to forward port 3389 in the router to the IP address ofwhichever
computer your trying to connect too.

I *am* the appropriate person at work! I did get it working as it was
pretty simple. I just had never done it to a non work PC before and was not
sure how to properly config my router at home!
