One item that is often overlooked that I wished more remote team mates would do: Get a business line for your internet connection or better yet, get a second line and use it only for work so you can segment your network activities between home and work.

You want a static IP address for at least one on-all-the-time box to route all traffic through and get a domain pointed at it. You don't want to have to deal with an ISP that thinks they can determine which ports you want open.
