Yes there are ways around this but it was an astoundingly easy way to have a personal cloud storage and for me that was worth the price of mobile.me.
No use crying although I imagine many would really like to.. you have to say with Apple when they decide to do something, they do it no matter the outcry. The idea is to have everything in the cloud, rather than on person disks at home.. so access becomes easy from anywhere and everywhere. The philosophy is understandable.. the means by which they get people over the line somewhat lacking ... !!

Thanks for making an effort. Allow me to clarify some things. There are two situations
Clarification is always good.
My answer was probably somewhat generic.. and I was not thinking of exactly how the TC would be setup.
Your home to work TC-Y is the place to start.
I probably cannot remotely solve the problem.. so you will need to see what you can do about it. And I will need to play a bit myself to see exactly how the hard disk faces the WAN side. I know you can tick the allow bonjour access from WAN, and I hope that is enough, otherwise you should bridge the modem and run pppoe client on the TC.. as long as your ISP allows that.
Do you have a static IP or using a dns service to access your work network from home. I strongly believe in testing if you really have access to work network or not, so perhaps test using remote connection to a computer there and see if that works. Or even just to get ping response. Can you turn on ping responder in the modem if you leave it in router mode. It makes it so much easier if work and home are near to each other.. that is why I suggested doing it via a secondary internet connection from home as there can be so many things to try it is a pain unless you have someone in the work situation you can get to make alterations.. and how this affects people at work.
I am not sure if you have considered but really transferring info via AFP over internet is far from safe. The correct way to do this is vpn. Where in the past I would do things with ftp, or secure ftp, nowadays I just do it with vpn. Really vpn is a far better solution and not that much money to get suitable hardware.. and yes, do it by hardware vpn routers at least at the work end.
I will have a play and see what might be blocking yours. This will probably take 24hours.
Sorry for this question but I am more a fixer of TC's than an expert in forums.. is there a PM to different users available here.
To roelandnas you can find my email via the website.. I am top repairer.. at least I created the website so I get to be top dog.
Email me and I can open my TC to access to you.. and we can have a bit of play.
