XP Home version...and a domain?

October 4th, 2001, 02:37 PM

I cannot connect to my domain here at work. Why or how do I do this? Is it possible? I can force my tcp/ip settings and view the network...but it wont let me make an account named administrator and I also cannot connect to anyone on my Domain without typing in my administrator logon and password for each resource. Please tell me this mofo can connect to domains...if not then this is crap and XP belongs out on da curb!

As far as I have read on XP, XP HOME is meant to be used at HOME and according to Microsoft nobody has a domain at HOME so why add the support

Yep, no support for domains in XP home. It's M$'s way of making businesses use their business software (professional edition) and home users use their home software. Can't argue with that logic.

Professional edition works quite nicely on a domain, BTW...
