My laptop XP user accounts at work and home

[Guest]

I just bought my tablet PC for my new gig at a bank. At the bank, since I am
a contractor, I have a user id to connect to a domain and the same id to
access email from an exchange server. At home, I have a little wireless
network and I access my email using outlook from a pop server. I would like
to use the same windows account and outlook profile to do stuff at work as
well as home. This way I can get all my emails at the same time and sync my
phone with one outlook profile. Is this possible ?

Right now I have two accounts, one for work and one for home (the
administrator account). This makes things very confusing and I have a tough
time managing stuff.

Could anyone please help ?

thanks,

Deepu.

Here's how to use your domain-enabled laptop on your home network (per
MVP Lanwench):

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>
