Dual Domain Problem

I have a serious issue, which I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere. I use a Laptop, an IBM Thinkpad. I use a wireless connection at one of my work places. It runs on a domain name server. I am also employed elsewhere which uses ethernet connection for another domain name server. Is it possible that I can have the flexibility of logging into which ever domain I want whenever I want. As in:
username:
password:
domain:(choice of work1,work2, or the computer itself)

I have tried to before since they both run using different devices (wireless and ethernet), but I have to make changes in Control Panel->System->Computer Name and change the Network domain I'm on to be able to log on to it. However, when I do this, the last domain that was registered is erased and replaced with the new one. So I end up with:
username:
password:
domain:(last domain registered in control panel->system, this computer)

and then I have to restore the system. I realise I can keep doing this as I move from domain to domain, but it is quite tedious.
Any hints?
 
you may buy a software or quoted form http://www.ChicagoTech.net
How to access different domain without changing the network settings

To use a laptop to access to different domain without changing the domain
settings, logon local machine (instead of domain) using your domain logon ID
that also are created on your local computer. If it is possible, you may
create the same logon id and password on all domain so that you always are
able to access the domain you are connecting to. Also you may want to create
one batch file like logon.bat with domain logon ID and password to map
network drives.

Hi Robert. Can you please send my an email? My main computer is down right
now until my media room gets it's new carpet. I have something I want to
send you. Thanks! --- Steven Umbach
