If you had read the pages where the difference between XP
Pro en XP Home are discussed, you would have known that
you can not join XP Home to a domain. Even it is a Windows
2000 or Windows 2003 domain.

You have to upgrade to XP Pro.

I'm sorry, but XP Home Edition can't join a domain or log into a
domain. Only XP Professional can.

It can connect to a domain and access domain resources. For details,
please see these sites:
