Three networks - one laptop

[Guest]

Use laptop computer at three different clients. One has a domain and runs
under an NT Server network. The other two use workgroup names on peer to
peer XP networks. Once I have logged on to the domain NT server network, it
seems to run the security checks even after changing the network settings
under properties section of "my computer" and doing a reboot. About every
hour thereafter, an error message pops up and says there has been an
unexpected error in NT security, the computer will now shut down. A
secondary message says that the unexpected error is from
\windows\system32\services file with a status code of 1073741819. This is
very frustrating. Not sure why the NT security should have anything to do
with the other network groups. Please help.

I'm not sure exactly what that error means, but is there any particular
reason your laptop has to belong to this domain at all? You can access
resources on a domain without belonging to it, if you pass along your domain
credentials (a batch file with a net use command will do this nicely and
your authentication will persist throughout the session.

Veering even more widely OT, I hope this client is planning to upgrade
soon - NT is long out of support.

I am not sure why, but think it is because I am set up in their email system
with my own email address for their company and can receive/send faxes
through another program connected through their email system. Will ask if
the reasoning the next time I am there and will see if they can set up the
batch file you are referring to.
Hopefully this will solve the problem.

That makes no difference. If you can authenticate to their domain, you can
open whatever you need to on your laptop while logged into its local
account.

You can do this yourself....

net use x: /del
net use x: \\server\share /userOMAINNAME\username /persistent:no

It will prompt you for your password on the domain.
