Re: OT Domain/workgroup Naming Question

["paul_watkin" <paul_watkin@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark and Nik,

Many thanks for the responses. Not sure if you saw my follow on 
message which explained a bit more about what I am trying to achieve.

http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/ukha_d/message/42802

I am not interested in being able to access my home network from the 
laptops or laptops from the home network. What I need is to be able 
to connect the whole lot to the Internet using one router.

Unless that is there is a way of connecting more than one router to 
an adsl line?

Regards

Paul

work from cold when you bring the laptop home. (I used to understand 
why - all I can remember now is that it's to do with a pair of hard-
wired 12 minute timeouts in the Domain Master Browser calculation 
algorithm.)

Windows looks for SID associated to that domain, not a domain name. 
You'll still have to create machine account in the home domain and 
join them although the domain names are the same.
