if ur using xp on both systems y not use remote desktop.....  the port used is 3389.. just forward that to the computer u are wanting to connect to's.. internal ip address.  ex:  192.168.1.100  192.168.1.101.  if u go to start then run, type cmd, then press enter, at dos box type ipconfig.  It will tell u the internal ip address!  in order for it to work u MUST setup a windows XP password for the system u are using or it will not work...  Remember u must use a secure password, and you must change it regularly... think about it if u can take control of the system, ANYONE who knows that password can too.  

here is a page to help also  link
hope this helps
