Dual networks ?

[Stanley Dowling]

I have connected the computers at home to a Home network.
Now I wish to connect my Home computer to mt Office
Computer. The office LAN is running Small Business Server
NT4.1 all SP's current, my office computer is running Win
XP Pro.

How do I configure my home computer for Both a Domain and
a Workgroup ? Assuming Workgroup for Home network and
Domain for Office network ?

Thank you in advance
Stan

You did not say what you had at home, but xp home can't log on to a Domain.

I am running Win XP PRO on all computers bith home and
office for precisely the reason you stated.
But Can I actually do it now that I think about it ?

Was your plan to connect your home pc to the work LAN via dial up or VPN
or..?

I would like my home desktop to connect to the following
networks:
1. my home workgroup 1 laptop & 1 other desktop (total 3
on home workgroup)
2. My Office LAN &/or Workstation, Seperate Domain - (NT
Server XP Pro Workstations) the easiest way possible,
actually the most stable way possible, without having to
pay for a static IP. ( Either VPN or Remote Desktop, Not
sure of the actual Operatational differences)

So, how do I run Both-the Home workgroup And the Office
Domain on one machine ?
Or do I even have to do all of that ? Just not clear to
me ! Forget the laptop for now !

Looking for both recommendation and instructions

Thank you
Stan

Just another way to form query:
1. Can I register BOTH a workgroup and a domain on ONE
machine, NEITHER of which are otherwise related ?
If so - How ?

First check this site for instructions in making XP Home connect to a
domain.
