connecting a PC with a domain to a workgroup
you can't and should not change your machine from domain to workgroup
You can still use resources at home and some tricks which can help is a) make sure there is an account which is the same as your domain one so there is not a challenge failure occuring when you access resources b) manually access resources. You do this by opening a command window and typing "NET USE * \\homepcname\resource" or from the start-run menu \\homepcname\resource or from the map a network drive menu choice. Browsing may not work at all but you can still manually access things. -- Paul. "Oded" wrote in message ...
