Maybe I didn't explain things correctly. My laptop is simply using the
internet connection on my home network. I don't use RWW. The way I log on
to my laptop is the same regardless of if I have it directly connected to my
work network or at home off line or using connect to small business server.
I just want to print for example an email while I'm at home logged on to my
laptop. I don't want to have to log off and log on to a local account as a
member of my home workgroup. Does this make sense? Thanks for your help.
