A few roommates and I have a small network going in our apartment with a DLink 4 port router sharing a DSL line. I have two XP clients behind a domain controller using 2003 server. They authenticate using Active Directory. I also have various drives and folders shared between all three. The two other computers are in a workgroup. My question is, can the two computers in their own workgroup still see my domain and any computers behind it? I can see the two computer in the workgroup though.

Create an account on the domain that has the EXACT same username and password as you are logging into the individual computers with. In the same way, create a user account on the individual boxes that is the same as the domain account.

Then share whatever you want and be sure to give that user access. Create mapped drives or whatever with the exact share. ie \\computer\share

This should work... What OS are the workgroup PC's?
