Can anyone tell me if XP home and pro are not compatible.
I am trying to direct cable my laptop to my desktop and
cannot get a proper connect. I know its a stupid
question, but I am totally frustrated! Help
 
Greetings --

Yes, both versions of WinXP are fully compatible, and can be
networked together.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

If you are using a CAT 5 Ethernet cable, you must use a
cross-over cable or standard cables and a hub or
router/switch.
