1) Can XP Home login into a NT network?
2) What is available if they can....?

Trying to connect a laptop with XP Home to NT 4.0.... and getting very frustrated...
 
the xp machine will not "really" join the domain but it could be set up to interact as if it is (kinda like a 98 machine joining an nt domain). The main thing is to make sure your username and password that you set up on your xp machine is the same as your user account that is on the NT server.

Don't forget to do the normal "stuff"....adding the xp home machine to the domain using Server Manager, make sure the xp machine's workgroup name is the same as the nt's domain name, and etc.

Oh..FYI, xp will not let you set up an "Administrator" account.

If you get stuck on something in particular, let us know.
