Work (Domain) Laptops and Home Network

Recommended Posts

I am trying to connect two work laptops (XP Pro, using domains at work) to a home network for printer and file sharing. I have local, but not domain, admin rights on each of the laptops.

 

2 laptops running XP Pro

1 desktop running XP Home (currently beset with other problems, so I will leave it out of the mix for the moment)

Connected via a Linksys Wireless Broadband Router (includes 4-port switch)

The desktop is connected via Ethernet, Laptops are connected via wireless or ethernet, depending on where we are in the house.

 

The laptops are from work, and are both on domains used at work. I have local admin rights, but not network, on both laptops.

 

All systems are able to ping each other.

 

From Laptop A, I can see the domain of Laptop B, and can access shared resources using my login for Laptop B. However, from Laptop B I cannot see the domain that laptop A is on and cannot browse and find Laptop A on the network. Going to run -> \\laptopA I am prompted for a username and password, the logins I try though do not work.

 

I assume that this is a access rights issue but I can't figure out the right settings.

 

Any advice is appreciated.
