Here is information from MVP Lanwench on how to use your
domain-connected laptop on your Workgroup at home:
You don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources on it.
You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all. Once
you've logged in using your domain account (using cached credentials),
and have an IP address on the home network, you can map drives, use
printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command line:
net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
