Leave the work computer alone, don't change anything.
>From the work computer, you connect to the home computers resources by
using Explorer and then browsing the resource you want:
In the address bar, type \\home_computer_IP\ and then hit enter, it
should come back and ask for a user name and password - if you didn't
setup a password on the home computer you should do that.
Once you get "authenticated" with the home computer, using a user
account/password from the home computer, you can make use of all of it's
resources.
If you want to use a printer, you just \\home_computer_IP\, OPEN
Printers and Faxes folder, then right-click and CONNECT. If you didn't
setup the home printer as shared, you need to share it first.
Setup a batch file, something that makes use of the NET USE commands to
delete the mapping and then remap it when you run the batch file:
Something like this:
: Map my H drive letter to servers COMMON share
net use h: /delete
net use h: \\S2kroot1\Common
The /delete will unmap anything connected to H before it gets remapped -
you need to change the S2KROOT1 to the network name of your home
computer, and the Common to the name of a share you create.
