Hi All,
Well I did something dumb.
I got a new Dell 820 notebook computer from work which has my company domain on it, I wanted to have a different domain or workgroup for when I am at home and want to get on the internet. So I added a workgroup and after rebooting I can not login.
Can anyone give me some help on how to get back where I was?

haha, this is true....

anyway to explain what happened, before you add your computer to your home workgroup, you are loggin on to the computer using your work domain cache profiles.
when you add your computer to your home network, this cache profiles are no loger used, and you have to login to the computer using local account of the laptop.

So I wonder, why do you need to add the laptop to your home workgroup to access the net ??
