Next step for RDP...

I've been using Remote Desktop happily for years on 4 computers, including a
laptop, all with XP Pro and on my "studio" network - still called
"Workgroup"
Now I want to take the big step of trying to connect to the studio computers
from the laptop via the internet, from far far away - what do I do - just
plug the laptop into an internet socket and pray? - if only! I really have
zero knowledge of domains etc
Can anyone enlighten me?!
