You can access remote server using ssh or x windows. If you are using windows xp / vista as client operating system use putty client for connection.

what do you mean connect from outside? SSH works over internet. Do you have ssh server installed on remote box?

192.168.1.51 is a private IP address. To access office Linux server you need to have any one of the following:
a) Public IP address to Linux server such as 202.51.5.2
b) Portforwarding on office router to Linux server for port 22. So that when you type ssh router-ip you will get connected to 192.168.1.51 ssh server. This is also known as virtual server.

I guess you have a router or something to connect your lan to de network, my suggestion is this:

1) find the router
2) read it's manual looking for routing stuff
3) if nothing on the manual, turn upsidedown the router and check it's brand and version.
4) use brand and version on google , you'll find a manual explaining how to route your machines from your lan to the open network(internet).

thanks

Thumbs up You need to have a VPN

Virtual Private Network .

you should have software like VPN ( by CISCO or any other ) so that u can connect to the server from ur home but u should establish the connection from server with proper connections to the VPN.

and then after that u can connect thru VPN and use putty and also Xwindows like reflection windows for GUI appearance.

I dont know how to establish the server and VPN other wise I could hav helped u out.

ThanQ
bye
