I have a portable with Win2000Pro, that I have configured with Domain A, and need to frequently connect to Network Domain B. This two networks are phisically apart, with different Domain names and IP addresses. I seem to need to re-configure all themachine and re-register to the Domain Network every time I change the Network. Is there an easier solution than taking 30 min to reconfigure the portable every time?

Is there a specific reason you have to join Domain B? If you try to browse the network or use network resources, you should just be prompted for a user name and password when trying to access the network.
Otherwise, yes you do have to go through the hassle. Win2K Pro can only have one SID at a time, so each time you want domain permissions, its a SID change and a reboot.
