Q: After years without a problem, I am suddenly unable to remote share my work computer at home.  I haven't done any updates recently and did not make any changes.  Anyone have any thoughts?

After years without a problem, I am suddenly unable to remote share my work computer at home.  I haven't done any updates recently and did not make any changes to the setup.  It was working Monday night and stopped working Tuesday morning.  I am at a loss for what could have happened.   Anyone have any thoughts?

    it sounds like your work changed something on their network.  Try asking your IT people if they recently blocked any ports related to remote management or changed their firewall settings to block incoming connections.

    Thank you very much for the answer.  IT had added an airport express to extend the wireless network.  This seems to have caused a problem somehow.  It has been changed and everything is working again.
