    First off, unless your the owner of the business, I’d suggest getting permission. This kind of thing would get you fired in most places since you’d be using company bandwidth and other resources for personal use.

    You’ll also need to get whoever runs your network to agree to adjust the firewall to allow connections, and need to have a fast enough internet connection at home and at the office.

    If you don’t want to hook up your laptop, you’ll need to buy additional hardware from slingbox.

    I suggest you review the product information on http://www.slingbox.com/
