I've tried everything I can think of to connect to this network. The company
I work for just ordered a laptop with Windows XP Home but their small
business network contains all XP Pro OS's. I allowed simple file sharing and
re-shared all the printers. I still cannot even access the network much less
the printer. Any suggestions? Thanks

If the workplace uses a domain, there is no way that the XP Home laptop can
access anything on the network.. to connect to a domain, one must have XP
Pro installed.. your company should have ordered a laptop with XP Pro
installed.. maybe they still can?..
