From the article:
"To begin with, the first thing you should check is that both
computers are members of the same workgroup."
I guess I failed to mention that the laptop is a member of a company
domain.
And that piece of information was the most important one! Here is
information about using your domain-member laptop at home:
Credit MVP Lanwench - You don't need to change to a workgroup just to
access resources on it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network
settings at all. Once you've logged in using your domain account (using
cached credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you
can map drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a
command line:
net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
