My wife occassionally brings her laptop home to do work. Instead of plugging into my wired router in the basement and sitting down there I've bout a wireless router and set it up.
Now she can sit upstairs and work to her hearts content. Only problem is, how the heck do I get her to see the other machines on my network (workgroup) so she can use the printer shared by my main rig? Her lappy is set up to be in her office's domain.
Is there a way to set up a networking profile so that her laptop becomes part of the workgroup and can use that shared printer? I don't want to have to change the machine settings whenever she brings it home (meaning take it out of the domain it's in and adding it to my workgroup) because I can't put it back in the domain without it being back on her work network.
Confused? I am
All machines involved are running winXP.
