We just bought a system that came with windows home edition and I am trying
to connect it to the network domain. The system will let me set it up to a
workgroup but I don't know how to set it up to the domain.

xP home doesn't support domains, sorry.

Home edition isn't for domains. You need Pro but I hear there are programs
about that may help.

XP Home Edition can't join a domain or log into a domain. It can
connect to a domain and access domain resources. For details, please
