The Workgroup name on the Laptop much match the netbios name of the lan
The Username and Password on the Laptop must be the same as an account on a
LAN

You will still have many limitations that way, but you may bet by

Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me the best way to go about connecting a user's personal
laptop with XP Home edition to the LAN? I understand that XP Home can't be
added to the domain. So how do you give them access to resources on the
domain? Any help/links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Zach
