How to chg to Workgroup from Domain

great_0, on Tuesday 29 April 2008 à 15:27:36

Hello,

While at home, I want to access files on my home laptop (XP Home) using my work laptop (XP Pro), via my Thomson Speedtouch 585V6 Wifi router. The problem, it seems, is that my work laptop is a member of a Domain. I beleive that I must change my work laptop to being a member of a Workgroup. I have 2 Questions:

1. Is this possible without my affecting my connections to the LAN at my work?

2. How is it done?

PS Note: I cannot disable the company anti-virus program , even if I am logged on as Administrator.

Thanks!

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

If you remove the client from the Domain and add it to a Workgroup, you'll need a local account to login. If you don't have one, then you're out of luck. Then, you'd have to have someone in your IT Department add the client back onto the Domain.

So, don't even attempt this.

It's not necessary to remove the client though. First thing would be to confirm with your IT group that connecting to a home network and using file sharing is allowed. Your company may have a policy on this.

Your best bet may be to just use a flash drive to transfer the files.
