Another good (and free) solution is TightVNC, which even allows you piping the connection through secure shell (although you need to work a bit on the "howto"). The good thing about a VNC client/server solution is that the client is a single small (~ 250K) executable with little demands on horsepower, and can be launched even from a floppy or pen drive without installation.

If you already have XP, Remote Desktop is built in. And you can get to it from anywhere by booting a free Knoppix Linux CD and running rdesktop to connect to it. Can also use putty to tunnel it, but you need to setup a SSH server to do that - that is a lot of work that is unnecessary if you are not being blocked by a firewall...
