UltraVNC, TightVNC or RealVNC, or if you have business or ultimate versions of Windows Vista/7 on both computers, you can use the built in Remote Desktop.

You may need to forward ports on the router and firewall software and you'll need the client's IP address.

Team Viewer is another option, far simpler than setting up VNC/RDP, port forwarding etc.
