Several Domain Accounts

[Guest]

This is the scenario: I am a consultant that works primarly with two
customers (ie: I have an office for myself in each of them and have access to
their networks), besides I have an office of my own with its own network. So
I connect my laptop to three different domains. I usually don't "log" to the
customers domains, but they recently installed new firewalls that require you
to be logged to the domain in order to give you internet access, something I
need. How is the best way to configure an XP user to be able to log to three
different domains, without having to actually create three users. If I create
three users then XP generates three environments for each one, with their own
personal files and configuration. I want a single one.

Thank you.

The easiest way to handle this is with third-party network management
software. Your laptop mftr. may already have something like this
installed for you (my IBM Thinkpad has AccessIBM), or you can get one
of these programs:

Actually I do have an IBM laptop with the Access Connections, and that takes
cares of the DHCP and proxy configurations, but it doesn't handles domain
logon.
