I work for an engineering company running a Windows NT Server using Windows 98 operating system. The problem is that we just purchased a Dell laptop with Windows XP Home Version installed. We setup the laptop for the network but it is telling us that access is denied to some of the shared resources. Is there anything we can do, or are we just missing the obvious. If you need more information you can email me at Shaun9977@valornet.com. Thanks for your help.

You need to upgrade to WinXP Professional in order to "network" this computer.

Home edition versions do not support being connected to a domain.

XPHome does not connect to a Domain structure. You cannot log add a XPHome machine to a NT or Win2K Domain.
You cannot log onto a XPHome machine with a Domain username/password.
Switch to XPPro instead.

XP home is the worst way to save $100 there ever was. XP home was designed not to be part of a domain structure. If you want a computer to be on a coroprate network, buy XP Pro.
