XP Home is not very network friendly. With that said, I don't believe
(somebody correct me if I am wrong) that changing the user name in XP Home
really changes a lot (like in Win2k or WinXP). The default user is 'Owner'
for XP Home, and I'll bet if you make sure that account is named as such in
XP Home and setup that same user ID on your domain (with the passwords being
the same), your drive mapping should work fine via pass-through
authentication. Give that a try and post back your results.
