Remote setup for Windows XP

[Guest]

Can someone please help me. I have remote desktop connection that came with
my Windows XP. I am trying to setup my desktop and laptop to control the
other. I want to be able to use my laptop to acess my home computer when I
am away from home. Can someone give me a set by set process on how to go
about this procedure.


Thanks Darnell

The Remote Desktop hosting feature is only available with Windows XP Pro.
You can only use Windows XP Home Edition as a client and not a host.
