I have a laptop that runs XP Professional that is a member of a domain at

a computer that's running XP Media Edition 2005. How can I do this?

Ken,

Run the Network Setup Wizard on your home computer. That will give it the
network components and services. Then you change the workgroup membership of
the laptop, making it the same as the name of the domain at work. That will
allow visibility in My Network Places.

Finally, setup and activate a common, non-Guest account with identical non-blank
password on each computer.
