If the router doesn't have a firewall integrated to it, it would be very possible for somebody to view the LAN side of the network. However it would then depend on the computer configuration whether the outsider can see anything on the PC. Whether the support guy knows how to do it, I dunno.

Most modern routers do have some firewall integrated. Check the manual to see if this is configured or not.
