Ok here it is...

I am on a school network and I would like to access my
home computer, which has its own internet connection.

What I would like to know is how to use my school computer
to access my home computer so that when accessing my home
computer, my home computer uses its own internet
connection to recieve information off the web. For
example, I download a shareware application to my home
computer and install the program on my home computer,
doing this all from my school pc.

Is it possible too that all information done through my
home computer can be stored on my home computer and not
relayed back to my school's network so that I may keep my
privacy?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
 
Yep... This technology is called Remote Desktop... However, note
that your school may prohibit its use, so check before using it or
suffer the consequences...
