Hi,
I have a laptop supplied to me by my employer, running XP Pro. This is
part of a corporate domain so when I log in I have to specify a domain
name. I have my own PC at home running XP Pro which is not part of a
domain but a local workgroup.
I understamd that I cannot network these two machines together and share
resources i.e data and a printer due to the fact that one is part of a
domain and one isn't.
Is there anyway around this limitation bearing in mind I am not allowed to
do anything to the company laptop that could compromise it.
Are you asking how to use your home network resources from your
domain-member laptop? Most certainly you can do this.
From MVP Lanwench - You don't need to change to a workgroup just to accessresources 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>
