I have an office PC with a fixed domain which I can not
change
I would like to connect it to my home network ( I do so
and also get internet traffic) but would also want to be
able to use local printers and files
Any ideas?
 
you can't and should not change your machine from domain to workgroup

You can still use resources at home and some tricks which can help is

a) make sure there is an account which is the same as your domain one so
there is not a challenge failure occuring when you access resources
b) manually access resources. You do this by opening a command window and
typing "NET USE * \\homepcname\resource" or from the start->run menu
\\homepcname\resource or from the map a network drive menu choice.

Browsing may not work at all but you can still manually access things.
