I have a new HOME XP computer that I will be using on my
home DHCP network and my Work DHCP network. I need to
name workgroup for work is CASTLE and the workgroup for
my home network is @HOME.

I am tired and renaming the computer each time I switch
from home to work (otherwise I don't have access to
network resources, although I still obtain a connection
to the internet).

How can I set up two separate network profiles? I don't
want to set up two different users because then if I
change something on one user desktop it will not be
updated on the other.

Thank you for your help, any would be appreciated.
 
You can't. Suggest using the same workgroup for both places. It shouldn't
affect your Internet connection at home.
