I have a small home office network with 2 computers set up for file sharing
and printer sharing. The network is connected by a LINKSYS router and
defined using a workgroup name. Both computers are running XP. I use my
work laptop as one of these computers.

My office just went to MS Small Business Server and we are now on a domain.
The network folks at work set me up in the domain and all is working fine in
the office, however, when I bring the laptop home I now cannot see the
network. In order to see the network I need to change my network settings
form 'domain" to my home "workgroup". How can I set up different profiles or
log-ins to make this process easier to manage?
