XP Home Eddition Networking

[Larry J]

I'm really new to XP. Please be kind.

I have it installed and my wireless works. I want to
connect to my domain at the office but I can't find any
way to join a domain. Is this option hidden in an obscure
area?

Thanks.

You cannot join a domain with XP Home. You can with XP Pro.

Windows XP cannot join a domain, as BobC says. However, it can connect to a
domain and access domain resources. For more details, see the following
