I have a similar problem. I have a work laptop that is part of a domain at
work. At home I have setup a workgroup for my home PC and have shared my
printers. I would like to connect to the shared printers and file shares
from my work laptop. When I use the printer wizard, although it see's the
home domain on the network, it doesn't seem to see the shared printers.

Help....
