| 94816 | 2002-10-31 08:42:00 | Hi I have set up a home network with a workgroup and shared files/printer etc and all works well. Internet connection is thru adsl modem with no problems. Operating systems are Win 98 on 2 machines and XP Pro on another. The problem that I have is when I try to connect my work laptop, that uses a domain logon, I am not able to access the other computers or share files/printers. Acces to the Internet is fine. How is this resolved? |

| 94818 | 2002-11-01 03:48:00 | Depends on what OS you're using for the laptop, It'll still be there! Open up an Explorer window, and in the address bar, type: \\PCNAMEHERE\SharedFolerName\ and you'll have access to it. You could take the laptop off the domain, but this way works fine for me, as I do that myself. |

| 94819 | 2002-11-04 07:42:00 | Thanks for your reply. I have tried this search in the address bar and get the same result as when I browse the microsoft network. The reponse is that there is no logon server available to process the request. The other computers shows in the microsoft network but I cannot acces them. |

| 94820 | 2002-11-04 07:51:00 | I am running DHCP and the home network is configured to match the settings of my work network other than the workgoup issue . Can a dual bootup on the laptop work so that I can set the second setup to use the workgroup and allow access to my home network? If this would work how do I go about setting it up? Surfer |

| 94821 | 2002-11-04 09:40:00 | Just thinking about your posts so far it appears that your home network is probably using Windows Logon and your work PC will be using the Client for Microsoft Networks. You most likely would need to remove the Networks logon and replace it with the Windows logon. I don't think you have mentioned what OS your work PC is running, but if it supports additional user profiles it might be easiest to set up one specifically for your home network. The other so;ution would be to turn one of your home PC's into a Samba Server running on Linux. The latest versions of Samba allow password authentication for Windows machines, so your work PC would be much happier ;) |

| 94822 | 2002-11-04 09:44:00 | Try leaving your notebook on the network for 40 minutes or more. Sometimes I have found the other computers don't update their browser list for about 20 minutes so just to allow them to fully cycle allow 40Mins. Others better informed than I may be able to clarify things future |
