I have a Win2k laptop, which is a member of my companies domain. I cannot
remove it. I have a Workgroup with 2 XP Pro machines on my LAN at home. How
can I get printing functionality, file sharing and each machine to see each
other.
I see other posts on here like this, but no answers.....Can it even be done?
thanks
