I think that would work, but I recon your IT dept would have something to say about you opening up their LAN to wifi access. You'd probably also find yourself having to change that WINS IP address every time you went from home to work and back, as I doubt the IP address you're given at work is the same as the one at home.

What I'd really like to know myself is whether you can sync using wifi on an ad hoc basis. In other words, can you connect a wifi laptop to a wifi PPC with no access points or routers involved, and then sync? It seams to me that should be possible, and it would solve your problem at work if I've understood you correctly.
