Re: Domain & workgroup?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You can get around some of this using freeware available at
www.netswitcher.com but the fact is your notebook is joined to the domain at
work and if you want to join your workgroup at home you'll need to un-join
it from the domain first. Then, you're faced with re-joining the domain
when you go back to work. There is no easy solution to your dilemma.

I want to be able to use my notebook at the office (connected to a 2003
domain) and at home, P2P network with a couple of WinXP Home boxes, over a
wireless network. What's the best way to do that, so I don't have to keep
changing setup options? Can I have the P2P home network as a workgroup? Or
do I have to spend $ to set up a real LAN with a Domain server at home, as
well?

TIA,
Jim
