Hello All,

I have what may be a strange question... hopefully the answer/fix isn't as strange. *grin*

I have a home network. Works fine. Main computer hardwired, daugher's computer via Wireless. They work fine together.

I also have been provided a Laptop from work. I'm able to sucessfully use my network wireless card and gain access to the internet at home.

This Laptop from work... is setup with the Network ID, as a "DOMAIN"... to fully access the "Intranet" at work.

As is normal for home usage... my main computer at home, as well as the daughter's computer as setup as a "WORKGROUP".

The main computer, and daughter's computer are able to share folders and files.

Is there a way, that my work's Laptop can also share files... instead of having to copy files to a thumb drive or CD to transfer them between computers? Or, in doing that, am I going to cause my work's Laptop to then not have access to my works "Intranet"???

Any information (good, or bad) would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Ed

if you were to setup a separate network allowing you to connect to your home computer and your office's network, it would be possible to do all those without denying access to your work's laptop Intranet.

djatomicice,

I'm sure that I'm following what you are trying to tell me there. My home computers are setup on their own network. Both are connected via a wireless router (main computer hardwired, daughter's computer wireless connection) to my home "Workgroup", as their network.

My problem is... that since my work Laptop is configured to be part of my works "Domain"... I haven't found an easy way to do the file sharing between my home computers.

I'm sure there is a way... I just don't know what it is... and I'm hoping someone here can help me find it.

Thanks again for reading all!

P.S.

The above should read "I'm not sure that I'm following..."

Sorry... rented finger's here. *Grinz*

On the logon screen where it shows the domain name in a drop down box click on this and you should see "this computer". Simply logon onto the computer rather than the domain.
