Cannot complete the network setup w

Trying to setup a home network with my desktop running XP Home and my company provided laptop running XP Professional. I make the disk from my desktop but when I try to run it on my laptop I get this message. "The wizard detected that this computer belongs to a domain. Therefore, you cannot use this wizard to setup a network." I'm using a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router. Is there a way around this. Primary reason for setup is to share printer at home but would like to be able to share files also. Any help would be appreciated.

Even though the laptop is setup for a domain, you should still be able to access the shared printer in your home workgroup. Try creating the printer on your laptop and when it asks for the path type it in as follows:
\\computername\printer
The same applies to shared folders as well. Just map the drive using the UNC path.
