Hi,

Is there anyway I can get an XP home client to see shared files and folders
on my domain?

thanks in advance.

Hi Neil

It is possible by providing a domain account credentials to connect to the share from the XP Home PC.

Username: Domain\login ID
Password: <password>

An example of the Username could be if the domain was "microsoft" and the login name was "neil": microsoft\neil
Additionally you could map a drive to the share, and specify to "Connect Using a different Name" and supply the domain account login.

Obviously, you have to set the Share permissions and the NTFS file permissions on the resources you are trying to access, to allow the
user account to connect.

Hope this helps.
