Unable to remotely connect to the desktop of my WinXP Home machine

I am using PCAnywhere 10.5.1. I am trying to connect to the desktop of a
WinXP Home machine. To do the connection, I am using a wireless Win2000
laptop notebook that is only a few feet away.

When PC Anywhere launches, I can get the file transfers to work. However, I
can NOT access the desktop of the WinXP Home machine.

I have been working on this for months.

any ideas ?

Is the ICF activated on the XP box? You will need to open some ports (see
the Symantec site for which ones)
