No, after specifying the workgroup the laptop doesn't allow me to login with my ID for the domain at work and the box with the domain name is no longer there.

The domain was shown in the drop down box before but since I included the laptop in the home workgroup, the option is no longer available and the box has disappeared. It seems I need to delete the workgroup in order to connect back to the domain. If there is a better way, please let me know.

I know this topic was posted some time ago but I could not find an answer.I have a portable PC which is connected to a domain at work. I also have a wireless network set up at home with a workgroup in order to share a printer that is connected to another PC on that network. I was unable to connect to my home network using my work ID/PW which is associsted with the work domain but logging in as administrator I could access the workgroup and share the printer. I understand that it wouldn't be possible to switch from workgroup to domain and back without altering the setting on the portable to one or the other. Is this true and is there any way around this so I can use the same portable for connecting to both work domain and home workgroup without having to reconfigure it every time?
