Windows XP Home does NOT support inbound Remote Desktop. Use VNC.

"Windows XP Home supports Remote Assistance.
See this article for detailed instructions on its use : ""How to use remote assistance in Windows XP"".

Remote Assistance is similar to Remote Desktop, only available in Windows XP Professional, but while Remote Desktop allows to connect to a host-computer without any user action on the
host system, Remote Assistance requires a user to be present to accept an incoming connection."
