I recently purchased a wireless broadband router and was
attepting to install a wireless card into my laptop from
work. I was using a wizard or something, when I was
asked whether I was using a Business Network or a Home
network, I choose Home Network. I received the error
that I needed to reset my PC, once it rebooted, I could
no longer login to my computer. I have also noticed that
my Domain is missing. How I can I get back into my
system?? Help

Hi - wizards can be dangerous. :-)

The only way you can log in now is by using the local admin account &
password - but even this will not 'restore' anything or give you access to
your old domain profile. You need to bring your laptop back to work and ask
the domain admin to rejoin it to the domain. He or she will need to know the
local admin credentials on the laptop.

Note - you don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources on
it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all. Once
you've logged in using your domain account (using cached credentials), and
have an IP address on the home network, you can map drives, use printers,
whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command line:

net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
