I have laptop that has windows home on it. I have
network setup at home and my computer belongs to the
workgroup. I also have a workgroup at work. Is there any
way to join each work group without haveing to rename the
workgroup each day at each location and rebooting? Thanks
There's no need to ever rename the workgroup. Windows networking
supports multiple workgroups. A computer in any workgroup can access
a computer in any other workgroup.
To access another computer, regardless of which workgroup it's in,
type its name in the Start | Run box preceded by two backslashes. For
example:
\\computer
To see other workgroups on a Windows XP computer:
1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Click "View workgroup computers".
3. Press the Backspace key.
To see other workgroups on a Windows 95/98/Me computer:
1. Open Network Neighborhood.
2. Click Entire Network.
