Does anyone have any ideas on how to do the following?
I've got a laptop user whose laptop has a built-in wi-fi
card (currently disabled) and uses a docking station to
access our internal network. The user wants to be able to
use his laptop's wi-fi card at home to access internet.
How could this be configured so that you don't have to
reconfigure the netork settings when you switch from one
to the other AND still access the same user settings (ie,
desktop, My Docs folder, etc.) AND avoid having to wait
for XP to timeout when looking for the office network
which it can't find when using the wireless connection?
 
Should be easy if you allow him to log in to the domain
it will use his work setups, at home have him switch the
domain option from the work domain to the local pc,
usually the name of the PC on the login dialog. In this
configure his wi-fi connection, presumably with a
wireless router that he has set up at home, connected to
a cable/DSL Internet service provider. This concept is
very doable you just need the things listed and obviously
need to be able to set up the wireless router.

Good luck
