Remote tutorial?

Don't know if this should be in here or software.

Does anyone know of a good easy to understand tutorial on how to setup remote assistance or remote desktop?

I am a bit confused now.
Does he need to be password protected?
He is on a computer in another country.
He is connected via broadband modem (So i think it's directly connected).

Thanks for the info guys.

We are both using Win XP pro

However port 3389 needs to be opened on his pc

He has Norton Internet security,so could you tell me how to go about opening this port?
I know what his IP is.
