My laptop is configured to be on a domain at work. I
would like to bring it home and connect via my wireless
network to my Workgroup based Home Network.

My laptop can connect to the wireless and gain access
to the internet as expected, but can not access any of
the computers on the workgroup (or vice versa)


Any suggestions how I can set up the networks to be
more compatible
 
Hi, Wayne -

I have a domain-based tablet PC that works just fine on
my home network. I haven't tried accessing disk shares
but wireless printing works just fine.

I created a local account on the laptop that matched the
user ID and password of my home workgroup and then just
mapped the printer. Works fine :)
