Greetings from Australia. Sorry to put a 'rider' on this, but IME, the XP Home users, unless like a workgroup they have accounts on every machine (NOTE: Not logging in - just having local accounts), then they will not have (essentially) permission to be able to access the resources. Certainly you will not be able to add an XP home machine to a domain. I believe there is nowhere to actually do this in XP home.
