I have a wireless home network set up with my personal laptop(XPP) as the only wireless computer. My desktop systems(XPH & XPP) are hard-wired to the network. Everything there is working just fine. My problem is when I bring my work laptop home(win2000 & wireless). I am able to ping all of the other computer on the network just fine. I can even see them in network neighborhood, but when Iry to access one of them I get the message "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". I am unable to access any network resource. I am also locked out of most of the networking tools due to my work. I am getting an IP from the router. Firewalls turned off. I currently logon as I would at work(domain). Do I need to just logon to the laptop for this to work? Does anybody have any ideas? thanks

There is no domain server on your home LAN. You should set as "workgroup" instead of "domain". It will work for both networks.
