How can I use domain laptop to access a peer-to-peer network
My W2K pro laptop is in the work domain and W2K pro home PC is in a
workgroup. I want to use the shared printer on the workgroup PC to print
from my domain PC. I get "No login server available..." when trying to
connect to the home PC from the work PC. I can log into my work PC locally,
but then I have to use a new profile and log on/off, etc. Is there anyway
for me to be able to print through the workgroup PC without having to log
out of my domain profile?
A: You may have two options: 1) try that: create a workgroup name to match
your domain name first and test all connect on the home network, then join
the laptop to the domain. You should be able to logon the domain at work
and home, and the laptop can access the workgroup resources too. 2) logon
domain user on the domain laptop (even the workgroup is different), use
command net use \\workgroupcomputer /user:administrator, (here administrator
is workgroup computer local administrator), the enter workgroup computer
administrator password. You should be able to access the workgroup
resources.
