home control

I am looking for a way to remotely control another computer within my home network. For instance, I have my laptop connected via ethernet downstairs and want to start a program (media player) on my computer upstairs. Is there a way to do this? If so how?

{both computers are running WinXP}

 

Try VNC

 

Works like a charm! Thanks! Took me a few to get it running but it does just what I need.

Thanks Again.
