Looking for a newsgroup pertaining to XP home networking. I did a search
and tried subscribe and found nothing under Newsgroup types. Does it exist?

This depends on your software and your ISP's browser.
Your ISP probably carries msnews.microsoft.com which
lists about 40 NGS with "network" as part of the name.

It's microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web on news server
msnews.microsoft.com

There's also a very bad web interface to the news group here:

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
