Is it possible for myself (I have windows xp) to
connected to my moms computer (she has windows ME)
through my computer so I can view her screen when she is
looking at it so I can help her with her computer
problems?
 
Not with Remote Desktop...

Try something like UltraVNC (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net) which is
easier to configure than Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing...

Note that if your mom has a firewall/router, you must allow TCP Port
5950 to pass through/or be forwarded to the appropriate computer. See
your firewall/router manual for information on how to do this.
