I have a problem. I connect to three networks a day - one being my home network, the second being my work network and my third my fiance's network at her home. Without changing my workgroup name every time I boot up, is there a way to manage these three networks and have one's resources available when connected to that network, etc.?

Any help appreciated. If you haven't guessed, I have a laptop - built in wireless a/b/g plus bluetooth if that helps

thanks

You could create separate hardware profiles....one for each location. Or, you could change your fiance's workgroup to the same name as yours or vice versa. If work is not a domain, I would just change hers and your workgroups to match your works.

If you are on a domain at work then you shouldn't be having any issues with home workgroups. Is this how you are setup?
