I have a laptop and we have a wireless network at work (with a domain) and I
am set up as a member of the domain to access the server, etc. Everything
works great.

I also have a wireless network at home with two other computers besides my
laptop. They are set up as a workgroup. I have no problem accessing the
wireless network at home. It works fine.

I have added my work username and password to accounts on both the other
computers (one windows xp pro and one windows 2000). Both of the other
computers can share folders, files and printers with each other. I can not
access either of those computers via the wireless network using my laptop
even after adding my accounts. I think this has something to do with being
a member of my work domain.

When I go to Network neighborhood on my laptop, the only thing I find is my
work domain with my laptop listed. If I go to network neighborhood on
either of the other computers it shows the workgroup and both of those
computers.

How do I configure my laptop to access and share folders and printers with
my home workgroup?

Thanks,

John
