Controlling my desktop computer from a laptop over a home network

I have a good desktop computer running Windows XP SP2 that is
networked to my brother's computer and a cable modem with a Linksys
(wired) router. I have become too ill to sit up at my computer as
much as I want to.

Could I buy a laptop computer and control my desktop computer over
our home network using either a wired or wireless connection so that
I could compute while lying in bed? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

they are actually very intelligent and good at what they do which is
make lots of money and get lots of prestige by shoveling enormous
amounts of BS very, very rapidly.

I do exactly as you describe using TightVNC using both my wired and
wireless connections over a home network.

Easy to use and free as GPL-licensed.

All the best
