I want to be able to connect to my computer at work which is behind a sonicwall tz180. I have an available ip address for it and i think i know how to do it but i wanted to make sure. So i just basically forward the ip through the firewall to the lan ip address for that computer right? how do i setup the computer to accept a remote desktop connection?

yes you need an external IP to get to it. ping it from a command line on the outside to be sure its there.Configure tz180 remote desktop. Avast firewall enable remote desktop. 

To enable it on the PC go to Control Panel > system > Remote

you have to port forward port 3389 on the firewall and if windows firewall is enabled allow mstsc / remote desktop through the windows firewall.

Also have remote desktop enabled on both machines.

The other alternative is to have a version of VNC installed on both machines, tight vnc is a really good one and there are other varieties of vnc out there... like real vnc etc.
