Yes you can.

I'm not clear if you mean when both are on the wireless network or when the laptop is remote via the internet.

In either case you can use XP's remote desktop tool or a third party tool like UltraVNC (which is free and also does file transfer).

Thank you

but yes , I meant when both are on the same wireless network in the same house. no internet needed, or if it is I have cablemodem and LAN constantly connected.

I got the spftware you suggested, installed it onto both computers, but they still will not connect.
I getthe IP adresses of each by using 'netstat -R' in the dos.
Am I doing anything wrong

May be this can Help.

First read this, Connetcting to Computer/Network/Server through the Internet? (http://www.ezlan.net/myip.html)

Then install and use this, Ultr@VNC - Installation, and Settings. (http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html)

Have a Happy New Year :D
