Connecting to my businesses network

[Guest]

Can a computer with Windows XP Home Edition Connect to a network at my
office? All I want to be able to do is use the internet, my Outlook Email,
and print to a shared printer/copier. Will Windows XP Home allow this.

XP Home cannot become a member of a domain. However, it can use domain
resources. See:
