I have a Toshiba Laptop (just purchased) and wish to logon to My home domain, plus 2 client networks (both are workgroups).

At present I have to logon to which ever user name i need at the time - go to network settings - alter either to a domain name or to a workgroup name - then restart my laptop.

This is of course a pain as when I logon to my clients network workgroup I have to waist valuable time loggin on twice.

I also found if I accidently tried to logon to a Domain and I am not connected to that Domain I loose everything until I plug in next time.

I have used Password Authentication also but this I have just found is dangerous. Especially when using the OFFLINE FOLDER.

Thanks for the help.

or you could setup your domains with trusts to the domain that the laptop is in most of the time. That way you will still have to select to logon to the correct domain at the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen. Probably best to turn your workgroups into domains tohave this all working happily.
