You could use a product called PC Anywhere.

Brandon, how will that work if the IP of the computer he is trying to connect to, constantly changes?

My home PC uses a dynamic ip, but it doesn't change that much. Maybe onces every year. So when it does I just write down the new IP address. Other wise it looks like you can set it up for dynamic ip's.

From the website:

With a Dynamic IP address, usually only the last octet (last 3 digits) of the number ever changes. pcAnywhere can browse through a range of IP addresses. Using the steps outlined below, you can have pcAnywhere browse through a range of IP addresses and then select the correct computer to connect to or, make use of a Domain Naming Service.

I don't know how big your office is so this may not be an option.

What I do is logon to a Citrix server and access the Remote Desktop via the Citrix Server. As long as you leave your work pc on and loged in it works great.
