I have a production DCom app that's been in use since 1999. It runs on our
LAN on Windows NT 4 (Desktop) and for mobile users on Windows 98. The
former is authenticted to our NT4 domain at login and the latter is
authenticated when dialing in to a RAS server with Dial-Up Networking.
(Actually, we have started to phase in Win2K servers and Active Directory,
but I don't think that changes the issues I'm facing).

More recently, I've had home users running Windows 2000 with a broadband
connection (either cable or DSL). They have been able to access the DCom
app by authenticating to our NT domain when they login. (We have joined
their computer into our domain).

Our first user showed up with Windows XP - HOME EDITION. I expected to be
able to treat it like Windows 2000. But I found some posts that indicate
that HOME EDITION cannot join our domain. So how do I get it to access my
DCom app?

Please help.
TIA
