I am ordering a laptiop that has Windows XP Home Edition on it. It also has a Wi-Fi network card. Will I be able to connect to a wireless network? I wasn't sure if I need WIndows XP PRofessional or not. THanks.

If you are just sharing a home network, XP Home should work fine. If you want to connect to a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain, you will need XP Pro. I do a peer to peer home network wirelessly using XP Home. Dan
