     You need (if they are hooked to routers and getting private IPs like
     192.168.x.x) to setup the router to pass the proper port traffic through the
     router. Sending an invitation to yourself will do little to no good unless
     someone is at the other computer to allow you to access it... The invitation
     can still be rejected at the door. You want Remote Desktop.
     
     You did not say what version of Windows XP (Home or Professional) you have?
     
     Read up here - see if any of this helps:
     
     The Remote Desktop Connection software is pre-installed with Windows XP
     Professional. To run it, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories,
     click Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. This
     software package can also be found on the Windows XP Professional and
     Windows XP Home Edition product CDs and can be installed on any supported
     Windows platform. To install from the CD, insert the disc into the target
     machine's CD-ROM drive, select Perform Additional Tasks, and then click
     Install Remote Desktop Connection.

     ****Running Remote Desktop through a router****
     
     To run remote desktop thought a router at home you will need to enable port
     forwarding, the process for this differs depending on the router.
