Can XPPro or any other Windows system attach to multiple domains or

A Windows network can have any number of workgroups, and a computer in
any workgroup can access a computer in any workgroup.
To see all of the workgroups on a network in Windows XP:
1. Click My Network Places.
2. Click "View workgroup computers".
3. Press the Backspace key.
To access another computer, regardless of what workgroup either
computer is in, type the other computer's name in the Start | Run box
in this format:
\\computer
Thanks, I knew that we can access multiple workgroups and multiple domains in
network neighbourhood. I was referring to the pre-set settings.
I'm not sure what you mean by "pre-set settings". A computer can only
be a member of one workgroup. But workgroup membership is basically
irrelevant in Windows XP and has no effect on accessing other
computers.
