I'm sure my situation is not at all unusual but I can't
seem to find anything online to help me sort it out, so
here goes...
I've got a notebook (running XP Pro + SP2) that's used at
work and home. It was set up at the office for a domain
(let's call it 'ABC'). Now I'm setting up a simple home
network -- ADSL router with WiFi for the notebook's Net
access plus LAN connection from router to an older mini-
tower (also running XP Pro + SP2) acting as a file server.
Both machines can access the Net and I've created a
workgroup-style network with the file server and shared
folders, but I can't get my notebook on this because it
says it's set up for a domain and can't be joined to
another network.
How do I go about getting my notebook to (wirelessly)
access shared folders on the file server if I can't access
the network? I don't want to have to log into the notebook
as a different user with a different non-domain profile
every time I get home. Is there any other way around this?
