well I've been on the search for a remote desktop app and found the remote desktop web connection built into xp. You connect via a webpage and it will automatically log off the host pc and allow a very quick connection over the web. I found the instructions here they are very straight forward and even goes thru setting up your router. I'm using my username.no-ip.org dns since I'm on dsl. you have the choice of choosing a port to go thru. The best part I like it locks the host pc. which using netmeeting my kids love to kick me off at home.
