Need to setup remote desktop connection
I need to connect to my home PC (windows XP SP3) while i am travelling. The HOME PC is connected to the netgear wireless router. The netgear router is connected to the DSL modem provided by internet service provider. Please give me step by step instructions on enabling the home PC to for remote connection. Please cover everything from right from the start incuding port forwarding. Also can the dynamic IP issue be resolved. Is there an application that the dynamic ips are picked up at an intervel and send to my inbox?
What is the connection of this questiion to Java Programming Language ?

I think you have misunderstood. I will be connecting using my laptop. I will use some other service provider for internet on my laptop. I want steps to enable MSTSC.
yes, i understand what you are looking for:
for RDP you need to have a static public ip address.., if you have in that case you can RDP to use desktop at home
if you don't have than you can install teamviewer both on ur laptop and your home PC and its like sharing desktop & also you can transfer data.
Hope this helps

Many of the home DSL modems will have built in firewalls too that will prevent you from connecting. Easiest option would be to use a service such as logmein.com. It is free and functions much like gotomypc, this will prevent you from having to toy with your firewall and modem as well as setting up dynamic dns.
Oh, and these days, those logmeins, teamviewers, VNCs and other such tools are so popular they are just as likely to be probed by "bots" and attempts made to use/exploit them as a way to hack into your home computer, so again make sure the usernames/passwords are hardened difficult to guess.
