Correct. XP Home is not designed to participate in a domain environment.
If you want to make your computer a member of the domain, you'll need to use
XP Professional.

> Well I thing I have figured out that XP Home Edition is not meant to run
in a Domain.  First there is no option that I can find to join a domain,
only a workgroup. And it is not a good idea to run 2000 server on a network
with XP Home. I think that XP adds features of ICS, and you should never run
ICS on a server if you plan to ever use NAT.
