shared resources

[Espen Johannessen]

I have a computer at home that is connected to the same network as my work
computer through broadband. At home I can't join the domain, though. Both
computers have static IP-adresses.

Is there a way that I can connect to shared folders in our domain from home
even though the computer is not in the domain?

Espen,

If your home computer can't join the domain, you'll need to authenticate access
to the computer at work thru a local account. You'll need to setup a common
account, with an identical, non-blank password, on both computers. And login
with that account from your home system.

Sounds reasonable, I guess you mean local Windows accounts?
Do you have some links to this procedure, e.g. Windows technical articles?
I hope that you're not talking about remote desktop here?

Espen,

Generally, shared folders refers to a named share, and a local account refers to
a local Window account. I'm not sure where remote desktop fits in with shared
folders.

Here's a good Microsoft document:
