Most NAT routers don't work properly when you connect to a (forwarded)
port on their public IP from a host on their own LAN.

I would expect it to work fine. I have a customer with a MR814 v2
running older (5.0_00) firmware; no problem with forwarding.
Did you test while physically at your work machine? If not,
by what means were you accessing work's desktop?
