Quite right, the ZEROTH
step in connecting an employer-issued computer to a
home network is talking to your network admins. In
many companies, violating network security policies
can be a Career-Limiting Move.
Among the specific requirements at my employer is that
I had to install a company-supplied hardware firewall
device.
A colleague's wife works for a company that has an
even stricter policy: their house has two
DSL lines, one paid for by her employer and only
for her work, and one for which they pay for all other uses.
