adding domain on xp home edition
Hi Acid711,
I'm afraid as you cant join XP Home to a Domain. Windows XP Hom was designed for workgroup based environments. However, there're some third parties that provide tools to enable you logon to Windows 2000 based domains using XP Hom, not to join Domain. Hope that helps Acid711.

I cant seem to figure out how to sellect the domain on my machine. There is no place to type the name of the domain. Please help. XP Home Edition can't join a domain or log into a domain. It can connect to a domain and access domain resources.
