Can I connect my XP Home computer to a network domain at my office?

If so can you guide me through that process.

Thanks

XP Home cannot log into a network domain.

It can, however, access shared resources from the network domain.in
the same way as you would on a peer-to-peer network.

Only Windows XP Professional is designed to join a domain.
You'll need to upgrade your existing Windows XP Home Edition
to Windows XP Professional.

Thanks to you both. I'll try the peer to peer connection.
