Hi,
I hope someone can help.
My computer at home is connected by adsl through the building network(we live in a boarding school) I tried to have my computer connected to my work's network also and it has ended disastrously. It would not connect to the one at work (although it appears to now have those settings) and will not connect at home. I tried to use the wizard and change the settings, but to no avail. I Want my old settings back!
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Maria

Q: 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.
