| 78670 | 2002-09-12 00:24:00 | Hi folks! My laptop runs Win98 & I logon to a server at work with a username, workgroup and domain setting. My Client for Microsoft Networks is setup with 'logon using NT Domain' and TCP/IP settings include DNS and WINS configurations. Now I've just bought a usb-usb network cable to connect the laptop to my home desktop (also running Win98). However I've found I need to disable the Domain, DNS and WINS configurations to use the USB-USB networking ... then reset them again at work. This wastes time and I wondered is there a quick way to logon to each network without stuffing around with configurations? I know diddly-squat about networking (eg I have no idea what DNS and WINS settings actually do!). Grateful for any help :-) Best regards Jeff Smith |

| 78671 | 2002-09-12 04:20:00 | I know that I can use it like normal even with my laptop set-up to use a domain(Win2K though!), try deleting the Domain upon boot and see what that does. Otherwise, AFAIK, it's change each time for you! Chilling_Silence |

| 78672 | 2002-09-12 09:32:00 | You could try changing the Primary Network Logon to "Windows Logon" . This should stop your computer from trying to logon to the network servers which aren't accessible from your home . Basically a Domain Name Server and Win Server help to reduce unnecessary network chatter by having all computers on the network get info about other computers from the server rather than broadcasting . |
