You can remote into a home computer if the home computer is running XP Pro. XP Home can't be the host. If you're behind a router, you will need to set a static IP on the home computer and open the appropriate ports. Obviously you'll need to know the WAN IP address (or the home computer's IP address if not behind a router). If you have XP Home and don't want to upgrade to Pro, you can use third-party software such as Ultra/Tight/RealVNC or pcAnywhere (commercial). Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
