Vista Home Premium Remote Desktop Question

I've seen several posts concerning the inability to Remote Access a Vista
(x86) Home Premium machine. I can easily access my Vista desktop from an
MCE2005 XP machine using Live Mesh -- at least from behind the NAT on my
home network. Am I to understand that this is definitively not possible
from a remote computer over the internet? If it is possible can someone
please summarize?

Good lead Gordon. I've downloaded TeamViewer and will also try this one
out.

Re: Vista Home Premium Remote Desktop Question SOLVED

I wanted to close this one out and provide info to anyone else that might be
interested. I was able to make TeamViewer work and will continue to play
with it. More importantly, for me, I noticed in the post below that Windows
Live Mesh might not require any additional configuration of the router to
work remotely from outside the local network. I went out to another
location and it does work successfully. I have used Mesh for sometime
locally and can recommend it.
