What are you trying to do? Use the same profile on multiple networked machines?

XP Home probably can't do this.

You cant do it with XP Home as you need a domain controller for roaming profiles and XP Home won't connect to a domain, only a work-group.

One thing you might try is to change the profile location on the second machine so that it points to the first. I have no idea if that will work or not.
