Configure XP Professional remote desktop so that I can access my documents on 3 laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate that I use outside my house.

My main office at home running XP Pro SP 3. It has two hard drives of very large that I keep all my information and products as well as the more recent favorites that can are no longer synchronized through windows live, as they did before.

My 3 laptops are running Windows 7 Ultimate (two are Core 2 and one is an Intel i7) the smallest HDD is 320 GB, 500 GB and the i7 is 650 GB.  But I tried many serveral ways to connect and I know it must be something simple that I'm missing.

I read the Article ID: 969084 Description of the Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 and was about to run just with this option up to what I saw in the section:

951608 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951608/) Description of the Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) in Windows XP Service Pack 3.  From the PDF file is sounds like I need to have a server X.509 certificate.
So one of my questions would be - is it true?
My second question would be if I don't use a server are there fees for the certificate?
Thank you for all the advice?

You don't need a certificate to connect to XP Pro SP3 by using remote desktop.  I just checked in you connecting to my computer XP Pro SP3 on a Windows 7 Ultimate computer.

To connect to your computer XP Pro on the Internet, you must configure the firewall on the computer and your router to wide band to enable unsolicited remote desktop connections.
