    Only xp pro has remote access. You would have to use a 3rd party program like "go to my pc"

    I would suggest using RealVNC (free), or Logmein.com (also free) in order to setup some kind of remote access to your XP (home ed.) computer. Sites in order:

    https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/

    Other solutions like Go2MyPC and PCAnywhere are also good, but not free.
