XP Pro? You could remote in, assuming the Windows firewall is either disabled or has appropriate exceptions. Can even remotely enable it if required, assuming the startup policy for remote registry hasn't been altered. If it's Home, you could remotely deploy something like VNC or DameWare's remote client, assuming you have the software and again, the firewall isn't enabled.
