I have three computers with XP home one is connected to the internet through
a eithernet connection to my DSL wireless router, the others are connected
wirelessly. I would like to remotely connect to them to manage windows
updates and virus protection. I cannot figure out how to set this up.

No, XP Home can only act as a Remote Desktop client.

Look at UltraVNC with its encryption plug-in and XP video driver as an alternative.

I also recommend disabling the desktop wallpaper in the UltraVNC server configuration to
speed up the connection.
