Hey,

I have all my computers networked to a 2wire gateway with wireless and
ethernet networking in it. I have a computer running windows xp home
connected to it through ethernet and the other 3 computers are connected
wirelessley. 1 is a media center edditio, 1 is a tablet, and the other is
running windows 200o pro. At my workplace i can log into any computer and get
all my files and settings. How could I do this at home?

I'm sorry, but that isn't possible with the computers that you have.

You'd need to have a computer running a server operating system
(Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003) and set up a domain like
the one at work.

One additional note: even if you had a server computer and a domain,
you wouldn't be able to do what you want on the XP Home computer. XP
Home can't join a domain. XP Tablet PC and 2000 Pro can. I'm not
sure about Media Center Edition.
