I was trying to set up my work Laptop to my cablemodem. Since i did
not connect to the internet, i ran the network wizard. When i
restarted the Laptop later it did not give the domain name field. It
is using the dialup log on connection as the default. Now I cannot
logon using my old user name since it cannot find the domain.
Is there any way I can bring back the original setting with the
company domain name, since i have to work on an urgent assigment from
home?
If somebody has any solution please let me know.

Thanks
 
Quickest way is to call your cable modem provider.
They will walk you through making a new connection.

You've painted yourself into a corner until you can bring your computer back
to work. Your network admin will know the local admin password and be able
to rejoin you to the domain.

You didn't need to change anything on your laptop, for what it's worth. And
since you have a cable modem, I'd suggest getting a small hardware firewall
appliance (like a NetGear FVS318 or equivalent LinkSys, etc....) to protect
your computer from the Internet, and also to do NAT (network address
translation) and DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) so you can just
plug in & go.
