Maybe it's because Keith and I have likely connected to or from work related computers or servers.

It's funny, I know people with personal accounts that can create a TeamViewer session and I can connect and help them, even from work.
But if I try to create the same session the other way with them it gets flagged.
For work, we've created other means to be able to remote to needed machines from home. I don't open the route the other way though; nobody needs to get on my home network from outside, not even me.

Work is work. If I need to work I'll connect to a work machine and work from there. That way nothing is on my home machine that may be needed for later retrieval. Home machine is for home. Work machines are for work.
Allowing yourself to RDP to a work machine isn't that hard. You could create a VPN so you can be on the work network (LAN) when needed and RDP to those machines as necessary.

Or go with software like AnyConnect that allows connecting to any machine that has the software.
This is a paid solution, but works very well and allows initiating sessions via a web service for emergency new connections to machines you've never connected to before.. nice but not free, however if in the business may be worth considering
