XP Home is not good for a business environment. However, I highly recommend XP Pro. It's more stable than 2000 and I find it easier to use than Win2K.

Can you give more details about your network problem? What network are you using (Novell, Win2K, Peer-to-peer). What protocol are you using? Have you installed the latest drivers from the NIC manufacturer?
