Just a comment...as far as I know, WinXP home doesn't let you set a Windows
NT domain. This is totally different from setting a default search path, and
typically does not involve DNS in any significant way. NT domains are a way
to manage file shares and access lists for NT workstations across a corporate
network. I can't even imagine that Microsoft, as braindead as some of their
decisions may be, would remove the ability to have a default search path for
name resolution.
