Have a new XP machine that I want to add to my home network. I want
the XP machine to be the Host computer. How do I change my old
computer that is running 2000 pro from Host to client?


All Windows machines (NT Class especially which includes
XP) are both Servers and Clients for many purposes automatically.

For instance, they all use and offer file shares and print shares.

They can all have Web services and be Web clients etc.

What precisely do you wish to DO, or NOT DO, differently?
