How To Remote Desktop to Neighbor's wireless PC using my PC?

Okay the next door neighbors are our family relatives so they stay over to our house mostly. However they have a Desktop PC connected wirelessly with NetGear Adapter.

I was wondering would be possible to remote desktop into their PC using my Desktop?

Please be as specific as u can be, because I want to know how this can be done?

Their PC is Vista and Mine is XP!

  • If they use the same router you do, just connect to their internal IP address. If not, connect to their external IP address (and the router has to forward port 3389 to the internal address of the computer you want to connect to.) All firewalls on their computer have to be set to allow port 3389 to connect. (And their computer has to be running the Business or Ultimate version of Vista.)
