Windows XP Home Remote Desktop Connection

First you need to forward your IP address from the wireless router to your
home desktop and the procedure is different for every router. But you have to
start there. You need to tell your router that everytime you try to connect
from the outside "world" that it should take you to your desktop or home
computer. Otherwise, the router won't know what to do when you connect to it.
Let me know what kind of router you have or do a search on forwarding IPs on
your specific type of router.
Hope this helps.
