Hello Magnus, I had the same problem with an XP-Pro box. XP-Home networking is only crippled when it come to joining domains. I think the problem is with the new version of CVSNT. It just does not seem to resolve the address correctly. To correct it just type in the localhost address (127.0.0.1) in the control panel applet. I think the problem is that CVSNT is not IPv6 compatible. Yes, XP supports IPv6 stacks. Why does using 127.0.0.1 work? Because the spec for getaddrinfo states that an input argument in dot notation will always return IPv4 addresses even on a IPv6 system. The name "localhost" will return an IPv6 address on IPv6 systems. I have not looked at the code so I am not sure at all if what I said is true, but I am curious.
