In the office my laptop (running windows XP) is set to the office network. I want to use my laptop at home to access a printer on one of the PCs at my home WIRELESS network. My problem is that I need to change the WORKGROUP to that of my home network. Is there anyway I can access this printer or any shared files for that matter on the home network without changing my office workgroup? Thanks so much, Oren

EDITOR'S NOTE: Why not change the workgroup of your home computers to match the work name? It's just an arbitrary name...

Hey Bob,
For network shared printer, does someone has to be logged into the host computer with the printer first before it can be printed to it by another computer over the network or the host computer just needs to be turned on without someone logged into it?
