I have XP pro on the desktop and XP home on the laptop. Damn!
Sorry ... I'm no expert, but we here at PCReview are seeing more and more people having 'problems' with setting up, and maintaining, their wireless network. It is getting silly ... reminds me of the 'hoops' you had jump through getting Win95 drivers.
MS in their wisdom did not see fit to give you what you need to make XP Home easily join a network. Money I suppose.
It can be done, and as I said I'm no expert ... if you followed my link, and it did not work, then you're basically on your own.
We do have a couple or three good networking masters here, if you're willing to wait for one, they may be able to help.
There is the other end of the scale ... some just work ... bloody annoying when you see that.
If you can use "cable" or shall I say "wired" network, then you'll stand a better chance ... again, I know not why, but wired networks are easier.
