Why each option
Before accessing a work computer from a home computer using Remote Desktop, you must configure the work computer to accept connections and ensure the home computer is prepared to initiate them.
While obtaining the IP address of the work computer is necessary for connection, it is an information-gathering step, not an action performed to configure the computers themselves.
Obtaining the IP address of the home computer is not strictly required for the home computer to initiate a connection to the work computer.
The MAC address of the home computer is used for local network communication (Layer 2) and is not relevant for establishing a Remote Desktop connection across networks.
Allowing Remote Desktop on the home computer involves ensuring its firewall is configured to permit outgoing Remote Desktop connections (TCP port 3389) and that no local security policies prevent the RDP client from initiating a session.
To enable remote access, the Remote Desktop feature must be explicitly enabled on the work computer, which acts as the server, allowing it to listen for and accept incoming RDP connections from the home computer.
The MAC address of the work computer is used for local network communication and is not required for establishing a Remote Desktop connection from a remote location.
