currently have 2 pc network (with broadband router) with xp pro. Will be
adding a 3rd pc which will have xp home on it. Will it add simply to the
network?, or will there be any issues i need to be aware of before i add it
to the network?

thanks

XP Home and Pro are 100% compatible in a peer-to-peer (workgroup)
network. Unless you've got an unusual setup, the new computer should
work on the network right out of the box. The only thing I'd
recommend is running the Network Setup Wizard to fully enable file and
printer sharing.
