Using 2 networks

[Guest]

I have a notebook with XP pro. What I want to do is to connect to the
network at work (which has a domain) and my home network (which uses
workgroups). The home network accesses the internet through a switch and
then a model/router to boradband obtains all the addresses automatically and
the work network has the DNS servers specified.

I have created two separate log ins. However I have configured the work
login to function correctly. However when I log in to the home login and
change the setup it also changes the work network configuration.


Is there any way to have two different configurations?

Thanks

Q: How can I share files between workgroup computer and domain/workgroup computer?
I have a home wireless network and share files and a printer between two computers. I also use Win 2000/XP laptop at work with domain network. How can I share files between these computers at home?

A: Deepening on your network setup, you may 1) Logon local laptop using the same logon id and password on both machine.
2) change workgroup name to match win2000 domain and the laptop needs to install at home first ad then join the domain .
3) without changing the workgroup name and logon ID, just enable guest account in win 2000/XP.
4) If you are running XP, enable Simple File Sharing.
5) 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.
