Sorry in advance as I'm sure this has been addresses, but believe it or not,
I can't seem to find it.

I just got a new XP Pro system and need to set it up so I can access it from
my home (XP Home on a laptop). My work computer is by itself, no network, no
server, no exchange, etc..

Where is the best (and simple) step by step instructions to set this up so I
can access my work computer from home?

Thanks in advance !!!!
