OK, let me start this again.
I recommended that you use logmein from home to connect to the office for informatiion after hours. From a prior post, I got the impression that you did not have an internet connected computer at home, and logmein requires an internet connected computer.
Although logmein does only connect 1 person to one computer, you can create more than 1 account and connect to different computers. But then, you need 2 computers at home and 2 at work. My earlier comments were based on your statement about limited number of computer.
Taking the laptops home works. It's perhaps more wear and tear on them, but that is what they are for, to be portable.
NO MORE WILL BE SAID ON THIS ISSUE
I have been playing with a demo of MS Home Server. It is a stripped down verson of Server 2003 with backup software built in. You can remotely log in, but then, you can do that with VPN or other means discussed earlier. What I haven't checked out is how many of the server features are still active. They do show up on the administrative screen.
