You didn't specified the operating system that you are using for the networking purpose. Any ways i am explaining the procedure to work with the Windows 7 as it is the latest operating system. To work with the remote desktop to operate the computer on the home nyetwork you have to do the following setting that will help you to make the computer on the network. So just go through the12345QWERT step that is describing the same.

1. Right click on the My Computer
2. Go to the properties
3. Now click on the Advance System setting on the left pane
4. On the Remote Tab click on the "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)."
5. select users on the network will have Remote Desktop access.
6. Thats it !!!!!!!

And click on the remote tab after that go to the under Remote Desktop section and click on the check box showing the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer". Thats it now you can connect to the other computer with the remote access. Say thanks if you like the same.

To set up the Remote Desktop, start with the host computer, which in this example is your work computer.

• Verify that you are signed in as the administrator.
• Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
• Click System.
• Click the Remote tab, select the Allow users to connect remotely to this computer check box, and then click OK.

Hope you will like the same.
