Hi , as far as whats different , group policy edit, file encryption , Domain capability
, and a whole bunch of small stuff , but as far as what matters for what you want
to do , nothing. As far as I understand either will support 10 simultaneous connections.
As for Netbeui , no need to change your whole network , Netbeui is on the XP cd you
just have to manually add it from the "valueadd\msft\net\netbeui" directory on the
CD, and also add it to the list of protocols available for your NIC. Never heard
of a 5 limit , but I do know Home can't log on to a domain. good luck, Case
