I have a laptop on a Domain at work, and a Workgroup at home. Is there anyway that I can set up a local user acc't to communicate with my Workgroup, while my laptop is set up to access my work Domain?

The answer to this is yes and no. You could create a local account and use it anywhere but, you need network settings so your laptop is recognized on the network.
If you are using DHCP at work and the same at home, you shouldn't have any problems. You would just need to plug into either network and start the computer.
If you aren't using DHCP at work or home, you would have to have a separate network card to use at home and give it your home ip settings.
Good Luck
