Greetings --

You can set up a home network using whatever operating systems you
like. There's absolutely no need to have the same OS on every
computer on the network. It just takes a little planning and
knowledge.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
