Re: domain accounts in combination with home networks.



You don't have to remove your computer from the domain in order to logon to
a local user account if you know the logon name/password of a local user
account and if you are an administrator you can create one if it is not
against company policy. Otherwise you can access shares on your home network
by creating a mapped drive in Windows Explorer /tools - map network drive
and selecting "connect using a different name" where you will enter the name
and password to use and if it does not work at first enter the user name as
in computername\user using the actual name of the computer you are trying to
access. You can also do the same at the command line as in net use *
\\computername\share /u:computername\username after which you will be
prompted for a password which will map a temporary drive with the next drive
letter available on your computer to the share. --- Steve
