Remote desktop...

I've been trying to boneup on remote desktop to try to connect to my computer at work. But for practice sake, I tried to connect to another computer on my own little VPN. However my own little VPN contains no terminal servers. How can I turn my main rig into a terminal server in which to connect to. If anyone can turn me onto any websites in which they cover the basic ins and outs of remote desktop and creating terminal servers it would be most appreciated!!!!

What OS's are you using? The methods of remote connection available to you will greatly depend on this.

Just enable Remote Desktop Sharing by right clicking on My Computer and selecting the Remote Connection tab. If you have a firewall/router, you will need to forward port 3389 to your XP machine. You can then connect from the "Remote Desktop Connection" application to your computer's IP address.
