I want to set up a home network using my OEM copy of XP
Home. What kind of problems will I have with installing
it on more than one computer?

The only problem is that you are not allowed by the terms of your license
agreement.
1. you may not move an OEM install from one PC to another . It is tied to
the first machine it is installed to.
2. Window XP End-user Licensing is install to one Pc per license you have
purchased. You can purchase additional license keys from Microsoft, but only
for Retail product not OEM.
3. We will not activate the OEM copy a second time on another PC for
reasons 1 and 2 above.

If you require Window XP non your additional machines then you need to
purchase copies for those machines.
