I have been wading through a lot of the responses and questions here and have
become very confused so I am asking for some help.

This is my situation. I have a computer running xp pro sp2 located in one
location using a cable modem to access the internet. I have a second
computer located in another town running xp pro sp2 using a cable modem to
access the internet.

This is what I would like to do. I would like to be able to use remote
desktop to access the 2nd computer system. Is this possible? From
everything I have read I believe it should be.

Could someone please provide some help to get this setup.

Thank you,
Todd
 
To continue----
I have the remote desktop working using my local network using the above
information (thanks)...now some questions on how to access remotely.

When I start "Remote Desktop Connection" What do I put in for the "Computer
Name" and the "Domain" Is the computer name the IP address of the actual
computer located in the remote location (from ipconfig), and the domain is
the IP Address which comes back when you do a "whatismyip"?

Thanks for the help so far.

Todd
