connecting to multiple domains

[Guest]

hi my server o/s is 2000 and client is xp.

i have a laptop which i will be conencting to differnet networks at
different site
offices. ie different domains. everyting i am disjoining and joining to the
required
domain.

i am sure that should be a better way of doing this
any quick help is appreciated

the idea is i need to access shared resources in each domain and at the same
time
i have to retain my desktop settings etc

This depends on what kind of shared resources you want to access

Assuming you have an account in each of the domains

If you just want to access file share use the net use command to map and
view shares

For example
net use * \\computerinanotherdomain\sharename /u:anotherdomain\acctthere *

Web servers depending on how they are written could explicitly ask for
credentials

If there is a trust between these domains obviously all you need to do is
logoff and logon.
