Your current W2K computer operating system can only be a member of one
domain at a time, and your log on choices are local machine, your domain, or
any domain that trusts your domain. So unless you can set up a trust between
your home domain and work domain (very unlikely), you are out of luck. As
you mentioned you can log onto local machine with a user/password that is
the same as a user in your home domain and you will be able to access
network shares, but you will not be able to have any domain policies applied
as you can't authenticate without a logon. One option is to place two copies
of W2K on your laptop in separate partitions. By dual booting you could
select the alternate copy of W2K as the one to join your home domain. You
would also have to reinstall applications to work with the second copy. If
you go that route I would suggest reinstalling applications on the same
partition as the second copy of W2K or a partition separate from the one you
are using now. You could share application data for the most part
hough. --- Steve
