accessing domains and workgroups

[allan grossman [ms-mvp]]

Hi -

If you create a local account on the laptop with the same
username and password as your account on the workgroup
you should be able to log on to the laptop locally and
access your workgroup resources.

Hello
You can go to your Network connections and disable the connection that you
use for your domain
!!!!!!Disable do not remove!!!!!!!!!

Then click Create a New Connection go through the steps to make a new
connection, then run the network wizard on the host computer, create a
floppy run it on the laptop.

Be sure to go to the Network Connections and Disable the connection you are
not using.
