XP Home vs. Pro

[dave]

Question - can you network w/university if you have XP
Home or do you have to have XP Pro?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Dave;
You would have to ask the university.
If you need to join a domain, you need Pro, otherwise Home should be
OK.

The major differences between the two is mote security and ability to
join a domain:
