Simultaneous domain/workgroup participation?

How do you make a Windows XP Pro computer participate in
*both* a Windows domain and a seperate newsgroup (with
different names)?

Here's the situation:

At home we've got four computers, and they're setup in a
simple workgroup configuration. This works fine for
allowing us to share files and printing resources.

One of the computers is also used for work, ans as such
it has to be able to participate in the Windows domain at
that office.

Another of the computers is also used for work, and has
to be able to participate in the Windows domain at a
different office. Additionally, this computer needs to
be able to connect with the office via a VPN link and
participate in that office's Windows domain.

The problem comes when we move the computers between home
and the office, or when we want to connect remotely to
the office while simultaneously maintaining connection to
work resources *and* home resources.

How can this be done?

It is not possible to be in a domain and a workgroup at
the same time.
However, it is possible to access your work PC via your
workgroup.

You will see the work domain showup under Network places
and list the PC in there. You will need to use the domain
securities in order to share resources from your laptop
though
