Domain Question

[Guest]

I have 3 XP computers on a home network currently in a workgroup. One is XP
Pro and the other two are XP Home.

Can I set up a Domain? If I can, how?

Thanks,

No. To setup domain, you must have a server.

Yes, as soon as you set one of them up with Win2k/Win2k3 server. Also note,
XP Home will be able to "use" the resources on your newly setup domain, but
it cannot "join" the domain - only Pro can do that. Best you stick with a
"workgroup" unless you have a "justifying" reason to have a domain.
