2 computers, 1 domain, 1 workgroup - can't talk

[John]

I have a computer running W2K setup on my office domain
I have a computer running XP setup on a workgroup.

Domain computer can see and ping Workgroup computer.
Cannot attach to Workgroup computer. Yes, it is shared.

I cannot change the Domain computer to a Workgroup because
then I will not be able to authenticate the next time I go
into the office without having the IT Admin re-set me up.

How do I get these two computers to talk?

Big Thanks to anyone that can figure this one out!!

Make sure there is a user on the workgroup PC, whose username and password
matches the user you use on the domain PC. then when you try to acess the
workgroup PC from the domain PC, it will think you are that user. At the
minute I believe it is authenticating you as a guest uer which may be
disabled, at any rate you don't want to be authenticating as guest.
