step by step

[B. Scott Smith]

If both computers are XP, and you would like your parents to request 
your help, then I would recommend using the built-in Remote Assistance 
feature of XP. Your parents would simply email you a request, and you 
will be able to immediately take control of the desktop.

This will eliminate firewall issues and allow you to chat while 
controlling the remote PC.
