I have a pc running XP Pro and have enabled remote desktop. It works
fine throughtout my network but I was wondering how can I access it via a
browser? The pc is connected to a router with dhcp.

You would need to...

1. Enable IIS on the PC.
2. Forward/open both TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP) through the router to the private LAN
IP of the PC running IIS.
3. From the remote PC call using the public IP of the router.

http://[Your_Public_IP_Address]/tsweb

Example:

http://12.34.56.78/tsweb

For help getting IIS going, open "Start -> Help and Support" and search on the string "IIS", without
the quotes.

Look at using one of the dynamic DNS services that map a fully qualified domain name to the DHCP
assigned IP address. Typically a small program runs on the PC and contacts the dynamic DNS services
server on a periodic basis. The IP is mapped to the name and that information is propagated over the
public internet. Call using the fully qualified domain name.

Example:

http://Your.Alias/tsweb/

I use a *FREE* service from No-IP.com

http://www.no-ip.com

Others, some free some $$$$, are listed here...

When you get the login screen, simply leave the server address field blank and click the "Connect"
button.

Al:

IIRC, the RD Web Connection sub-component is not selected by default when
installing IIS on Win XP Pro.

OP would need to:
Open CPanel: Add/Remove Programs
Select Add/Remove Windows Components
Select IIS, then Details
Select WWW Service, then Details
Select RD Web Connections
