Connect to schools network

by Oskare100 Oct 27, 2005 7:41AM PDT

Hello,
I'v recently bought a laptop with Win XP home. At my school we have a network domain that you must connect to if you want to get access to your files and the internet.

How do I become a member of that domain/how do I connect to it with Win XP home (I don't want to always use that domain because I will only use it at school) and I do have a username and password?

BestRegards
Oskar R

The school should have told you...

You need XP Pro to connect to their system.

No, there is no workaround.

check with your school

Check with your school for options on getting Windows XP Pro. They may have a deal with Microsoft to get you an inexpensive copy of XP Pro.
