Two network logins

I have a work laptop running XP Professional which is
configured to the office network - How do I add a second
login for my home network so that I may choose either the
office network or my home network when I login?
 
There is a 3rd party software called "Netswitcher" which streamlines this
process - otherwise it will be a manual process to switch from one to the
other each time it is needed.
 
A XP/W2K computer can only be a member of one domain at a time and do NOT ever try to
remove it from the domain if you do not know the local administrators password.
Ideally you would want a local computer account to log onto for home use, but you
must be a local administrator or have the local administrator create that account for
you. If they do not want to do that and your only choice is to logon to your domain
account with cached credentials, you could try to map drives to access your home
computers or try using the net use command to map a drive such as in " net use *
\\computername\sharename /u: username password /persistent:yes " . ---- Steve

Thanks for the tip - it is the manual procedure that I am
seeking help with.

Cheers,
