Here's the situation, please let me know if you have any advice.
I have a laptop that I use both at work and at home. At work I sign into a 2000 domain and work. At home I want to be able to add my computer to a workgroup for file and print share, but the only way to do this is to add my computer as a work group. I can do this, however it requires re-adding my computer to the domain when I return to work the next day.
Basically, I wanted to know if there is any way with Win 2k to select at login which group or domain you want to access. Any thoughts or past successes?

You ought to be able to simply log on at home using the "local computer" account on the laptop. The laptop should be able to see the home network and be able to use it, assuming you don't have special security procedures at home.

What you say makes sense and is true...but I'm still talking about being a part of a local workgroup. You can not (from what I've found) be a part of a workgroup and then smoothly switch to a domain. You need to go in and change the settings each time from an administrative account. I'm looking for a way to somehow select or set this up as you log in. Probaly not possible, but hey, you have to check! Thanks again! JS
