Setting Up Network Using Windows XP Home

Ok... there is a guy I know who wants me to setup 4 computers on a LAN. They all have Windows XP Home Edition running on them. Is there anything I should know ahead of time to avoid headaches?

I know there are some differences in administration features between Home and Pro (I think anyhow) can someone clue me in to what those are?

The biggest difference between Home and PRO is that with PRO you can join a domain, however Home works just fine with workgroups. Networking XP is a snap, you should have no problems.

Run the networking wizard, create the disk, then run it on the other 3 machines. It's that easy.
