Yes there is, there is a program called VNC. I have been using it lately. It's GREAT. You can get it here:

Ya it doesn't say anything about XP on there but it works fine with it.

I wouldn't say that VNC is great, but it is a nice tool. It has many flaws (i.e. much lag and the habit of freezing), but it is FREE.

If you set the viewer to only use 8bit , the lag is not much of a nuisance. And it has never locked up on me :)

i second that motion, VNC is cool, but like memo said, use 8bit, much faster...

orrr, you could always make your home machine linux and run a remote x-win session...but if that's not possible, go with vnc.

Ok, thanks for the assistance...me and a friend got it working using IIS...I just go to http://ipaddress:8081/tsweb...no program to download or anything.

As for as me posting this in the wrong forum....SORRY, I just needed real quick answers and I knew the software forum wasnt the place for that

GAM...Delete this thread now that I have the answers I need.:D
