Can I user Remote Desktop to connect to a Windows XP Home
computer from a Windows XP Pro computer just by typing in
the IP address?
 
Hi Jon,

You cannot Remote Desktop to a XP Home system. Your two options are to
either use Remote Assistance or Net Meeting with Desktop sharing.

Hope this helps.

If you installed XP Pro, would it work?

Hi Jon,

Yes, if the machine was upgraded to WinXP Pro, you would gain the feature of
Remote Desktop. Here is a list a page that outlines some other differences.
