Hi, Before going further, please let me know the following situation. 1. Why you want to connect using ICS and PPPOE to home computer? 2. How you connect from work to home computer, VPN, Remote Desktop or anything else? 3. How many computers are at home? If more than one, which one you want to connect to? 4. What error message is received about the Internet not working? If there is only one computer at home, we can use remote desktop from work to connect. Regarding how to configure the Remote Desktop Control, please refer to the following information. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Remote-Desktop-Connection-frequently-asked-questions If you have any feedback, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Simida, thank you for your reply :) Question: Why you want to connect using ICS and PPPOE to home computer? Answer: Because at work i have all ports blocked, i can only use pppoe. Question: How you connect from work to home computer, VPN, Remote Desktop or anything else? Answer: I can connect through TeamViewer. TeamViewer uses port 80 and it's not blocked in my work network. But that is not helping me at all. I want to use my home internet connection and have no restrictions, no ports blocked etc. I can connect to my home network trough VPN. I configured a VPN to accept incoming connection. Question: How many computers are at home? If more than one, which one you want to connect to? Answer: I have only one computer which has direct connection, i mean public ip address. I don't use a router so i don't need to forward any port. Question: What error message is received about the Internet not working? Answer: I receive no error. I can connect to home network, using username and password, i get lan ip but i don't get any gateway or dns ip and internet it's not working. I can see my network shared files. Best regards, IAnin

Hi Ianin, After reviewing your reply, I am sorry to say that using remote Internet connection locally is not possible. ICS will not share network as you expected. To use Internet connection on home computer, you need to connect to home computer as you did and then connect Internet through home computer. If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know.
