How can I share files between workgroup computer and domain/workgroup computer?
I have a home wireless network and share files and a printer between two computers. I also use Win 2000/XP laptop at work with domain network. How can I share files between these computers at home?
A: Deepening on your network setup, you may 1) Logon local laptop using the same logon id and password on both machine.
2) change workgroup name to match win2000 domain and the laptop needs to install at home first ad then join the domain .
3) without changing the workgroup name and logon ID, just enable guest account in win 2000/XP.
4) If you are running XP, enable Simple File Sharing.
5) logon domain user on the domain laptop (even the workgroup is different), use command net use \\workgroupcomputer /user:administrator, (here administrator is workgroup computer local administrator), the enter workgroup computer administrator password. You should be able to access the workgroup resources

nI have a wireless home network featuring 1 PC and two laptops all running
XP Pro. Because the laptops also need to be used at work on a domain, I
cannot configure them to be in a workgroup at home. I have been advised that
in order to file share at home I need to condigure a network that emulates
the domain arragement at work. Anyone know how?
At present all I can do is use the wireless network (Netgear wireless ADSL
router, access point and repeater) to share internet access.
