Question

Answer 1

Assuming that you have the required permissions to do so, and that you have a reliable connection between the two machines, Remote Desktop configuration is a two-part process. First configure the remote computer (home, in this case) to allow Remote Desktop connections. Then configure the client computer (work, in this case) with the Remote Desktop Connection client software.

From your WinXP Pro home computer;
My Computer > Properties > Remote Tab
Select "Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer."
A dialog box will appear, and you will have to add the user(s) who can access your computer. Remember, the account must have a password attached to it. You wouldn't want just anyone accessing your computer.

Then you connect to that computer by using the Remote Desktop Connection client software on another computer.
Accessories > Communications > Remote Desktop Connections
Again, a dialog box will come up, where you will need to provide information, such as the path to connect to the remote computer, user name, etc.

These are the basics. There will be a variety of details which you can configure in different ways. It might be irrelevant, however, if you do not have permission to establish a Remote Desktop at your work computer. While I assume that you do, my instructor always reminded us not to make too many assumptions about this sort of thing.

If your home PC has XP Professional, you're in business. "Remote Desktop" is a feature with the Pro version that allows you to set up the PC as a host, so that other PC's can connect to it.

You want to make sure you have a high-speed connection for this to be worth it. Set your router (or modem if you don't have a router) to accept incoming TCP connections on port 8080. Make sure it's forwarding incoming 8080 to the IP address your PC is using on the network, which is normally in the 192.168.x.x range.

Then follow this document on how to change the default port number that Remote Desktop uses (by default it uses 3389) to 8080. The reason why you are selecting 8080, is because many office networks block 3389 and leave 8080 open (you can also try other common ports like 1080).

Just remember that when it comes time to connect to your home PC, you need to do the following on your Office PC:

1) Start -> Run and type mstsc. Hit OK.
2) Configure all the advanced option you want to, then type the IP address of your home PC. It should look something like this:
333.222.111.100:8080 (where 8080 represents the port you set earlier)
3) It should come up and prompt you for a login. Your home PC must be using a password for your personal account.
