I have a laptop that belongs to several domains that are
used for work. I run Windows XP Professional on it. At
home I have a PC that runs Windows XP Home. It is my
understanding that XP home edition can't join domains,
only workgroups. I want to set up a workgroup at home and
be able access both the home workgroup and domain at
work. What is the best way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How to access different domain without changing the network settings

To use a laptop to access to different domain without changing the domain
settings, logon local machine (instead of domain) using your domain logon ID
that also are created on your local computer. If it is possible, you may
create the same logon id and password on all domain so that you always are
able to access the domain you are connecting to. Also you may want to create
one batch file like logon.bat with domain logon ID and password to map
network drives.
