I have a wireless LAN in my house using the workgroup name
MSHOME and I am gtrying to gain access for my laptop from
work which is attached to a domain with my company name.
I have access to the router because when I ping I get the
response, but I cannot get access to the workgroup. I
want to be able to VPN in and do email and use my local
resources in my home network such as pritner and disk.
How can I configure this?
 
you can either be a workgroup machine or a domain machine . not both.

You can still access resources (in most cases) irrespective of the you chose
either method.

For example, when I bring my work laptop home (which is corporate domain
bound) I can still access my home network by doing the following

1 - make sure I have one user ID which is the same as that of the work
domain account
or
2 - always connect to resources at home with a net use * \\someresource\blah
/user:<homemachine>\<homeuser>

Browsing may have it's own sets of problems as the shell is kind of using
the misbehaviors of the Browser service.
