    TeamViewer makes use of normal HTTP traffic (standard port 80), so you don't need to configure proxy servers or have to write in to request opening of any ports.

    Of course the catch is slightly lower performance, but if you ever need to remote-login to your work desktop from home or even your iPhone, this is how you can do it:

    Install TeamViewer on your work computer and your home computer / iPhone / iPad (http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx).
    To quickly set up a connection, just read http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/firststeps.aspx

    That's it. I've tested TeamViewer via my 3G connection from outside the NIE network, and I'm able to easily remote-in to the work computer, which allows me to access the internal NIE network.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the resource. I will try this out!

    Thanks Yeu Ann. This is very useful.

    The connection speed was pretty slow, and the screen looks somewhat tiny on iPhone though. Will need to try it on home PC.

    Welcome, Choo! I do find it slower too, but the connection is more reliable. You can try reducing the colour depth / increase compression / decrease the screen resolution. :)
