Thank you all for your advice!  I don't think I checked if the server service 
is running on the WinXP box - I remember shutting it down some years ago in 
an effort to increase the security of this OS.  Will look at it again when I 
get home tonight.

Talking about security, is the vnc method the only way to secure this 
communication (for both machines)?  Could there be perhaps ssh tunneling 
established between the two boxen before the rdp protocol kicks in?
