Switching between home network and office network

I have a laptop with XP Home that I use at home and in the office. Problem
is that I use different Workgroups, Userids and Passwords on both networks.
Its like:

@Home @office

homeuserid officeuserid
homepassword officepassword
homeworkgroup officeworkgroup

Is there any way that I can set up XP Home for two different environments
like these? As far as I know I can only define ONE set of login information
at a time. Is there a way to setup two sets and chose which one to use at
login?

Any information on this subject is appreciated.

Thanks
Tom

Q
 
You should consider switching to XP Pro. This version is
meant for varying situations such as yours.
 
I have XP Pro on my desktop, but I also don't see there, how I can specify
different Userid, Password, and Workgroup and then chose which one I want to
logon to at login.

This seem to be such an obvious scenario for most of us going back and forth
between home and office, that I can't understand why it is so complicated? I
am not an network expert, but allowing the definition of several sets to
chose from at login shouldn't be that difficult.
