remote desktop

[JLAudioFan]

Hi!

I have a work pc that I'd like to be able to access from home. The PC at work is currently our webserver, and I need to tweak it to get it working right (which I'd like ot do from home).

Both computers have NIS 2005 on them, which has been giving me hell on the webserver. There's no easy way to just open ports that I've found.

Anyhow, my question is this: Is windows xp remote desktop sufficient to do what I want, or should I get something like PC anywhere??

windows xp should be enough, but the trick is you need windows xp pro. let me be more specific. you need windows xp proffesional edition on the pc from work in order to remotely access it from home.

or an os from the 2003 server family

I do have XP pro on both machines, guess i should have been a bit more specific. Do you happen to know what port remote desktop uses? I need to know which one to open up in norton
