Hi,
> Is it true that WinXP Professional lets one connect remotely from a client
computer (to get access to files on the host > computer) outside the LAN of
the host computer?
It's called Remote Desktop, and the answer would be "yes".
> If so, what is the setup procedue?
First enable it on the remote tab of system properties. Then install the RD
client on the machine that you are going to access it from. See:
How to Use the Remote Desktop Feature of Windows XP Professional

> Do I have to download IIS onto the host computer?
No, but if you want to use the web-based version you do.
> Does this work via firewalls (each for client and host)?
Yes, but the network administrator must open the proper port for you
(default is 3389, but it can be changed).
> I heard of a program called VNC. Does this work through firewalls?
Not familiar with it, so cannot comment.
> Thank you.
You're welcome, hope this helps.
