I have a Win XP laptop which I have netwoked with my home PC running XP Home by setting up a workgroup. However I also need to connect to my work network but this is would mean logging onto a domain. Is it possible to do this? Is so how do I go about setting it up considering I am only running XP home on my own PC?

FYI.. XP Home is not capable if connecting to a "Domain".. Only XP Pro is.

The laptop which I want to connect with my home and work PCs is running XP Pro. So it could logon to the school based network but would I then loose my workgroup setting for my home PC (which is running XP home?)
