If you know the ip address of your computer at home (which would require a static ip address, or to know the assigned ip address and for your router to be configured to forward the rdc connections to your pc as discussed earlier) and you have your home pc setup to allow remote connections, then yes you should be able to (that is of course unless a firewall is blocking it which would be good to know)

>>Can you connect (via rdc and login) to any other system from your home pc?

>>If no, then it still points to something in your home configuration. Something else you can do is assuming your ip address on your home pc is 192.168.1.199 (because you are using a router) then configure the router to forward port 3389 to ip 192.168.1.1999 (same ip address as your pc). The router will then forward rdc to your pc.

>>>>Kevin,
>>>>I just now read your original message in this thread and realized that you are referring to a client pc as being the host you connect to. You must also do the same on their system that you have verified on yours. There must be a difference between the system at work and the one at home if one works and one does not. Is there any firewall at the client that is limiting the ip addresses, pc name, or user that may connect through it? Is the client running Windows 2000, Windows XP Home, or Windows XP Pro? Is the client pc on a network? Do you have a dynamic ip address at home and a static ip address at work? Does your work or your home use NAT? Are all three systems running SP2 (the client, your work, and your pc at home)?
