    you can to network XP Home, you just cant add it to a CORP NETWORK DOMAIN, but it can be in a Windows Workgroup.

    the thing you need to do is share a folder on the XP box, it will give you a security warning about enabling network shares. then go to your Mac, open a finder window. Click on network, you should have a folder in there called "Workgroup" click that and you should see your XP Box.

    on the mac side just open the preferences App, go to sharing, check "personal File Sharing" and Windows Sharing" this way on your XP box you can open Network Neighborhood and see your mac
