With two windows computers running Windows XP (PRO), can I set up a domain to link them?
I know I can just set up a workgroup, but I was just wondering if its possible to use a domain

not a true domain anyways.. you can set polices and such where one workstation could reference settings stored on the other.. which would just be a small workgroup, mimicking a domain
a true domain of course, would require a server operating system, where you could set securities, logins, profiles, all that active directory fun stuff... and even then a server O/S and an XP workstation... would be slightly an overkill.
if you want to just control access on one workstation, or even both.. Microsoft has a free addon for XP called Steady State.. it's quite nice, though it seems to be a resource hog on the HDD recovery methods... but you can ignore that, and use only the security settings... maybe it's closer, and less cost than what you are trying to do with a server.

You can run a domain with one single computer, if you really felt like it.
If you are running server 2000 or server 2003, you can setup active directory and have that server in it's own domain without anything else also in the domain.
Not sure the purpose of doing that but yes it is possible. You could join one workstation to the domain and there you'd have 2 computers (a server and a workstation) on the domain.
