Need help with remote access on Windows Vista.?

I used to be able to access my work email from home. Then I got a new computer with Windows Vista. Now it won't work. I can still do it from an XP computer in the house. The computer guy at work says it's probably my firewall settings. I still havent been able to figure that out. Anyone run into this yet?

Update:

The menus for vista are different than XP. I can't find the settings to change the cookies. Please be more specific.

    You have to change it in your control panel under your settings. Cookies may be blocking it. I just got two new Vista's and i had to change the settings so anywhere i am, I can access my e-mails.
