Windows RDP is still there best there is if you're in a windows environment.
Aside from that there are a million flavours of VNC some of which are shite some are OK, and 'Proxy' by Funk Software, if you want a commercial solution.

I don't quite understand why, after asking for advice and establishing you have XP Home and not Pro or Corp, you then proceed to go with a virtually unheard of commercial program instead of the free options presented here.

RealVNC or TightVNC would be better options than what you went with Soap. Both are free and both are excellent apps for clients which can't use RDP.
