There's no VNC required to do this. If you have a static IP or some form of dedicated connection you can determine the IP address of, share your music directory on the home machine (with proper permissions, passwords and access controls of course) and mount the share on your work machine. Assuming you have enough bandwidth (a solid 15-20kb/s is sufficient) you can just play your files like they were on your local drive. mp3 streaming through the wonders of Windows sharing! ;) So if you call our share music$ (the $ just makes it 'hidden'), you can access it by mapping \\your.ip.at.home\music$ with the appropriate username and password. Note that this may be a bad idea if you're running Win9x at home, I don't know what kind of security you can set up on the shared volume in that.
