TeamViewer
Friday, May 30, 2008 
Back To My Mac doesn't want to work with my FiOS router at home, nor through all the security port lockdowns through the work router, so I checked TeamViewer out. It works and it rocks.
The first thing I did was install it on my Mac and PC at work. I was able to quickly and easily take control of the PC via the Mac and the Mac via the PC over the LAN. Since they are side by side, I don't really need to do this but it's a nice proof of concept.
So now all I need to do is install it on my home Macs and I should be able to "Back To My Mac" reliably in spite of all the firewall issues I currently have with Apple's solution. I hope this works.
It kind of think that it won't work for my work PC because there is a system timeout that brings up login credentials... although I wonder if I could connect and see that login screen. Don't know yet ;)

Combing through Bungie to try to find people in the Boston area who want to play Halo 3... eventually a Lan party... and you seem a likely candidate...
If you know anyone who does this presently, would you let me know?
Thanks!”
