Q1. Is it possible to connect XP home to a Windows 2000 domain? If so how?
Q2. How do you connect a windows 98 station to Windows 2000 domain? Is it similar to the way you would set up to a NT4 server?
 
1- XP Home cannot join a domain. However, with the proper credentials, it can connect resources.
2- 98 can connect to resources as well, but in addition to having the proper user credentials, it must also be a member of a workgroup with the same name as the domain you want to access. So, yes, it's the same setup that NT needed.
