Remote connection problems

Hello all, I am having problems with remote connections using Windows Remote Desktop. A remote friend has tried to connect to one of my machines but has been unable to do so. Neither of us are up on networking, remoting etc. I understand that there is a public as well as a private IP address. I am using Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003. What do we have to do in order to establish a remote connection via the Remote Desktop functionality in Windows so that my friend can access control of my desktop? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
