I have a laptop which has been imaged by the company I
work for. When I go to a clients site, or at home, when I
try to browse the network using Network Neighborhood, I
CONTINUE to see the name of my companies domain. I get
this at home....and at clients sites. And, I can't see
ANYTHING on the network segments I am on. Obviously, when
I am at home or at a clients, I can't browse my own
companies network (because I am not connected to it).
Nevertheless, the name continues to show up.

I'm using TCP/IP. I removed the static WINS server
address. And, I created a workgroup for my machine and
joined that. I don't belong to the domain at work
anymore. However, I still get their name on the Network
neighborhood browse list, and nothing else.
Suggestions?
ALSO, I DO run Zone Alarm. I mention this because it has
been known to cause a few weird problems.

SUGGESTIONS?

you might wanna enable the netbios or filesharing for the computer. the
domain controler at work will allow it to work there without the file
sharing turned on. also in the advance part of the tcp/ip properties check
that the netbios is being used. i asume you are changing the ip adress to
the corect one for the other computers. it might be that they have disabled
the file shareing with for security reasons.
