Assuming you have Windows XP Pro at home, you can configure a Remote Desktop connection to another computer from Start | All Programs | Accessories | Communications | Remote Desktop Connection.

On the General page of the Remote Desktop Connection dialog, enter the IP address of the machine you want to connect to, along with your login credentials. Tab through the other pages in this dialog and set the options as desired. Click 'Connect' to connect to the remote machine. Once properly configured and working as desired, you can save these settings with a name for future use.

IIRC the Remote Desktop client is also available for separate download if you're not using XP Pro at home. Let me know if you need a URL for this, I might be able to dig it up.

>I can connect very easily/quickly to a server at work via Remote Desktop. How can I setup my PC at home to accomplish the same thing? Thanks!
