   Win XP Home doesn't include Remote Desktop Connection.  That's one of the 
things Win XP Pro gets you.

   Win XP Home does include "Remote Assistance", which works using the same 
protocols, but with some additional programmatic involvement which I haven't 
explored yet.  It also requires the connection be initiated from the computer 
being controlled.

   Use VNC instead.
