Not sure whether this is the correct group so please
excuse if it is not. Here is the issue. My buddy has a
laptop (Win2000 SP3)he uses for work that logs onto a
domain. He was trying to copy some files to his home
laptop via direct cable conection. He changed the network
settings on his work laptop to a workgroup (from a
domain). This is where the fun starts as he cannot now log
ontop the laptop as it appears not to recognise his login
and password. He was able to change to a workgroup because
his login had administrator rights. (Silly IT manager).
This is proving to be a problem for him at work as he
wasn't supposed to do this sort of thing. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
