Make sure your ISP routes IPX traffic, mine doesn't so I couldn't connect 
to our Novell shares.  Also, you might want to get your work to upgrade to 
the newest Novell server, or patch the old ones, because the new server 
uses TCP/IP.  Of course, due to legacy constraints, upgrading might not 
occur ;-)
