hello. i'm trying to connect one of our PC laptops (running XP pro) to a Mac Mini (tiger) stationed at home. normally (if it was PC to PC) i would use Remote Desktop Connection and it connects without a problem. is there a good guide for this somewhere? thanks

Download Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac OS X and use it just like RDC for Windows.

edit: Or are you trying to access your Mac from your PC? If so enable Remote Desktop in System Preferences and then download a VNC client (like tightVNC) for your PC.
