Check that your port-forwarding is working. From home visit http:// 
grc.com & see what ShieldsUp! reports of port 80, or from work  
`telnet myhomeipaddress 80`.
I don't think you should be connecting via a browser - I think that  
browsers are generally for reading the Internet, and not designed for  
upload. I take it you're using a Windows PC at work? I think that  
instead you should use one of the options in Network Neighbourhood or  
"My Network Places" ("add a new network place" in Windows XP?).
