Hi,

I try to connect my office lap top (working on a domain environnement) to my personnel PC (workgroup). My personnel PC is connected to a router D-Link 704. I connected my lap top in the router. On my PC, I see my Domain lap top when I click on Explorer, My Network Places, Entire Network and Microsoft Windows Network. But when I click to the domain I see my lap top but It ask me a user and password.
I try the user name and pw of my lap top without any succes. My personnel network is operated in workgroup. I try to change to the same domain as my lap top but prompt me Network Identification problems ?

Could someone help me?

Thanks,

When the laptop asks for a username you'll need to precede the username with the domain name like the following:

Username: domainname\username

Then you should be able to use your domain password to complete the connection.
