How do I connect my Windows XP Home OS to my university LAN?

You are going to have to talk to the LAN administrator, or someone in their office.

First, you need the proper network card on your computer.
Second, you need to enable the communication protocals required for LAN access. Depending on the LAN, you may need software installed.

Then, the administrator needs to provide you with address settings, and a password.

Oh ya, you need to have a connection to the LAN at the site where you have the computer.

If your Universiy LAN is a NT domain, you're not going to be able to. This is something that XP Pro will do, but the home version can not.

If it isn't an NT domain, talk to you IS group there and they'll probobly have a sheet that'll show you step by step on what to do.
