cleatus,
    Are all the computers part of the same workgroup?  Are you logging in as an admin?  Give me a little more info and I'll try to help.

AR15FENCER is correct, Windows XP Home edition cannot connect to an NT domain.  You need the Pro version.

I don't believe XP home is networkable in a domain environment. Were you actually able to add the workstation to the domain and say run login scripts?

Windows XP Home :
Accessing data on a Domain Server

Unlike Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition is NOT able to join a Domain:
(no possibility to define the Domain name in the Properties of your XP Home Edition system )

But you can still access data on a Windows NT4 or Windows 2000 Domain server :

I hope this helps

So, they removed functionality that was previously included in Windows 95, 98, Me, and Windows 2000 pro?
