Configuring two Network Connections

I have a laptop connected to a wired domain at work. I
have a wireless network that I use with two computers at
home. My home network only uses a work group, not a
domain. I bought a wireless card for my laptop to use on
the network at home. When I set up the card on my laptop
at home it created a whole new user to join the network at
home. It's a real pain to change users each time I go from
home to work and back. How can I create a second network
connection for home use while logged on as the same user I
use at work?

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.
