I have set up a domain by having a win 2003 server and have set some win XP Pro P.C.s up by seting the domain name in My computer/properties/computer name, opening the cahnge box and under member off, putting the domain name in. But I have also got a Windows XP Home Laptop and i have tryed to do this also on it, but this option is not there this boxes is diffrant and there is no option about Domain. Can I set this computer to the domain and how? (Do i do it diffrand, under network connections, Download something of the internet)?

You cant log on to a Domain with Windows XP Home. One of the differences between XP Home and XP Professional. Not many home users use a domain server.

The only thing you can do is set up a Peer to Peer connection with Windows 2003 server.

Thanks for that reply. I did think that and I will just set up a Peer-to-peer, workgroup network that i have got this computer on now.

You can log onto remote desktop or another remote software to access a domain.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

If you connect to the domain controller through My Network Places, you can enter a domain user name and password, and custom permissions on shared files and folders will still work. Thats about the closest thing you can get to domain networking on XP Home.
