There are at least 15 ways to log in from home. But, LogMeIn is the easiest and is free. GoToMyPC is just as good, but I never know how they do it when they don't have a free alternative. On the other hand, I don't know how LogMeIn does it for free even though they have a Pro version.
Remote Desktop supplied free by Windows with XP Pro and Vista, is the fastest and is very secure, but it takes a bit more know how to set up, and although you can use it with a dynamic IP, it is easier with a static, which you may not have. It's just nice, because I can log into my computer from home in less than three seconds where with RWW or LogMeIn it takes about 30 seconds. Doesn't seem like much, but when I am crawling out of bed at 7AM on a Saturday to fax in Vigamox, 27 seconds is a long time.
