what do you mean by access? you mean, be able to view the desktop and control remotely?

if that's what you want, you cna get RealVNC: http://www.realvnc.com/. you'll need to run the server on your computer, then log on using the client from elsewhere.

hmm as mentioned elsewhere, you can use port 80 or 443 if you need to access it from behind a workplace internet filter.
