I have two computers in my house networked together with a Linksys wireless B router, a desktop and a laptop both running windows XP OS. I have figured out how to share the files and the printer through the router but I want to be able to run my desktop remotely with my laptop through my router so whatever is on my desktop screen will be on my laptop screen. Is this possible? Any help will be great.

glad you got it working, but I believe you only need Pro on the host pc/laptop. XP Pro can remote access any pc just as long as it's running XP (Home or Pro), but it has to be XP.
