I am trying to connect a new XP Home Edition Laptop
(Compaq Presario 1700) machine into an
existing TCP/IP network operating from a W2K server. I
can ping the domain controller from the XP machine, but
can't
find any machines if I browse the network from the XP
Machine.If I do search for any computer on the network
from the XP computer,no computers are found "the network
path was not found".the internet explorer is running fine
and I can access the internet which is through the server!!

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
 
Hi, Mohanad -

An XP Home machine can't join a Windows 2000 domain - for
that you'll need to upgrade the machine to XP
Professional, I'm afraid.
