Re: RemoteDesktop

This isn't going to work for you, I'm afraid.

The Remote Desktop feature is not included in XP Home.

If RD were available to your brother, you would need to open port 3389, TCP,
in the Sygate PF to allow RDP traffic inbound.

I am not familiar with SygatePF, so I can't provide a step-by-step on how to
do that.

You may wish to open this port in the SygatePF anyway, since it is also used
by the Remote Assistance feature which IS available on XP Home, and which
may be useful to you.
