In your case you would need to use something like VNC or NetMeeting Remote Desktop to access/control
an XP Home box remotely.

Get the VNC software from...

http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

To use VNC through a firewall/NAT/router you need to forward TCP Port 5900. See the FAQ for details.

For help with NetMeeting RDS look at this KB article. NetMeeting is built-in to XP and can not be
upgraded...

To use RDS through a firewall/NAT/router you need to forward TCP Port 1503. See the Resource Kit for
details.

Note that the VNC data stream is *NOT* encrypted so that is a potential security problem if you use
if over the public internet. Some folks run VNC through VPN tunnels to get around that issue. For
help setting up VPN on your XP Home box look at this page...
