remote access through router?
(OP)
I'd like to access my work computer from home. Both are connected to the internet via cable. Both have the cable modem and a wireless router. The only thing I need to do is transfer files. I've read a bit about port forwarding but that looks to be more for playing games on remote computers. Is there a way for me to connect to my work network?

Make sure you coordinate with your manager and your IT department. Circumventing company IT security is usually grounds for instant dismissal.

On some it is a direct modem/VPN connection: not through the internet.
Alternatively, you can try something like gotomypc. They offer a service which is similar to remotedesktop but is more secure.

Anyway, you just need to ensure that Terminal Services is running. I don't know if you can do this on XP Home but you can definitely do it on XP Pro. We run it on our client systems to repair their databases.
