MS didn't tell you, but Home edition has some bits missing ... proper networking.

Make life easy on youself and get a good 'router' ... it should be as easy as connecting everything up and turn on.


 
I'm not grouchy by nature, it takes constant effort.

You Only Need A Firewall On Your Server Because No One Can Port Scann The Other Pc's On Your Net Work. Net Card Ip Addresses Are Totaly Hidden From The Internet. But A Trojan Can Let A Hacker In On All Your Pc's With A Firewall.

Some Firewalls Can Block It But Have An Ip Range That Can Be Opened Up Like Zone Alarm. I Gave My Macfee Fire Wall Away So I Dont Know. I Like To Use Tcp/ip Freeware To See Whats Happenin If You Need To Find The Net Card Ip " Inetquery Analyses Syte 2005 " No Spyware.
I Dont Have Xp Home. You Might Try Makin Setup Disk With The Home Net Wizzard Like You Would For Connecting A 9x Machine To Your Xp Network. It Sound Like A Pain I Dont Think It Will Hurt.
