I have a problem... I use my laptop at work and log into their domain there. When I come home, I want to log into my home network which runs a different domain on it. Is there a way to be able to log into both without having to disjoin the domain and rejoin the other? Because that is a royal pain in the butt. Any help would be apprecitated!

Easy one 
.
When the login screen comes up.. normally you would have
1) USERNAME
2) PASSWORD
3) DOMAIN
Instead of typing it in that way.... type it in like this... username@domain.com . You will see the domain grey out, becuse you are telling it which domain to login with. Let me know if it helps !

I *think* that if you add the machine to the 2nd domain, it will put an entry in the dropdown list allowing you to select which domain you want to log into.
Ive never done it, but it seems like thats how it works.
You might also try adding a 2nd network connection in "Network and Dial up Connections" for the other domain.

No, you CANNOT do this. Your workstation can be a member of EXACTLY 0 or 1 domains. NEVER 2 or more. When you join domain "B" you GIVE UP your membership in domain "A" and any trust relationship with the original domain "A" is DESTROYED. Then the only way BACK into "A" is to REJOIN.
Microsoft has designed Windows NT4, 2000, and XP Pro to work this way and there is no way around it.
If this is absolutely necessary then u can dual boot your machine and have two os's on there on two seperate partitions...then you'll be able to do it.
Thanks, PAUL

you can try cross domain login.
when mapping a drive, cick on the connect as different user
for example;
to access a share in domain1
map a drive x: to \\domain_server\shared_drive
username: domain1\urusernamehere
password: urpasswrdhere
to access a share in domain2
map drive y: to \\another_server\another_drive
username: domain2\regularuser
password: urotherpasswordhere

this may not be exactly what you are looking for but
you'll have a mapped drive into each domain.
using the same techinque, you should be able to access any domain resource spcifying domain_name\user_name
in the username field.
