Selecting domain on home edition

I work in an office where all computer are running xp pro and are connected
to a domain. I have a laptop with xp home edition. I cant seem to figure out
how to sellect the domain on my machine. There is no place to type the name
of the domain. Please help.

For a mere $199 you too can logon on to a Domain - get XP Pro (Microsoft
loves ya). XP Home will not.

That's because XP Home can not join a domain...

What exactly are you trying to do, and how this is related to wireless?
You can use some network resources and share files even not being in domain.
Anyway, even with XP Pro you can't join domain without help of your network
administrator.
