As stated by others, this is way OT and Google should help here.
RDC works over different subnets, even (if you're stupid enough to open
the ports in the firewall) from a different country over the internet.
MS Windows XP is NOT a multi-user OS, what you want to do might work,
but is extremely flakey.
It is a multi-user OS. The problem is that the Remote Desktop Session
Host component is artificially restricted in non-server editions of
Windows, preventing concurrent sessions. Those so inclined can remove
this restriction with an unofficial patch that is fairly easy to find.
