I have two computers on a LAN:

Computer 1 runs Windows XP Home.

Computer 2 runs Linux.

I want to remotely control the desktop on the Windows machine from the
Linux machine.

Once the relevant software is installed, there will be no Internet
access from the LAN; that is, the remote control must not depend on any
Internet server to function.

Suggestions anyone for suitable software on each of the machines?

You could load VNC on the XP machine. RealVNC and TightVNC are two programs
to consider. I've used RealVNC for ages and it works well.

This can be very simply achieved with VNC.

On the Windows box, install the VNC server component. I generally use
TightVNC though there are several other builds available. Also install the
Mirage driver for better performance. Open a firewall port for the incoming
connection (typically port 5900)

On the Linux box you need a VNC client. Exactly how you obtain this depends
on the distro, but most will have one as a standard option. Or you can use
the KDE remote desktop client (krdc) which uses the same protocol. Launch
this and specify the IP address of the XP box.

krdc can, with the correct add-ons also access a Windows box in terminal
server mode if that is preferred.
