    Please tell me how can i connect my windows Xp(home edition) to remote desktop of Winxp home edition i.e destination computer connected to the router.
    Every single website tell you how to connect to remote desktop if you are in a local network or if your destination computer directly connected to internet without any router. I don't know why nobody explain about connecting remote computer connected to a router.
    check this site it tell your everything but doesn't ans my question

    sorry but XP home doesnt have the ability to use remote desktop... you need pro for that

    if you really need to access the computer remotely you could use VNC

    if the two comps are on the same network this is what you need to do.

    firstly make sure they are on the same workgroup and then,

    right click my computer and go to properties, click on the "remote" tab and check all the boxes

    do that on both pcs. you also need to make sure that there is a password set on the user account you want to access remotely so set some passwords.

    once youve done that thats it, just run remote desktop, type in the computer name of the pc you want to access and login using the username and password.
