What do you mean by 'connecting'? Simply accessing a network share on the Win2k3 system? If so then it wouldn't be a problem - suppose both computers are on the same workgroup, the Win2k3 server will appear in the Network Neighborhood and be accessible.<br />
If you mean join it into a domain hosted by Win2k3 server then you'll have to upgrade to XP Pro.<br />
