can be done mate
easiest way would be to use a cross over cable to setup a simple 2 pc network then use windows remote desktop

too easy

or if ya got modem/router with spare ethernet ports run LAN cable to port and use RealVNC (freeware) or tricky way is run wifi router off modem/router and have USB/pcmia card in lappy do it over wifi and use realvnc ..

Yeah remote desktop I find great for my home network...I sometimes start my desktop downloads by remote from my PDA while laying in bed at night.....lazy huh....

LOL I do same thing but through RealVNC from loungeroom and monitor them see how fast they going .... when ya watch downloads they always go slow when not looking they speed up .. heh

What do you want to use it for? I mean if you are using it to check downloads I would probably suggest using a Web interface over Remote Desktop but depends how you want to do it.

Windows to Windows I highly suggest RDP over using VNC, VNC is an easy way to do Remote Desktop stuff over multiple OS's but RDP is a better protocol in most cases.
