2 Win98 desktops at home sharing a DSL connection through a switch.  I want
to connect the W2K laptop to share files and printer connected to one of
the Win98 desktop.  When I hook the laptop I can access Internet OK as I
get an IP address as I have DHCP enabled.  But I am not able to make the
laptop part of the work group at home.  The W2K is configured to access the
work LAN using a Domain Server along with Novell Network.  How can I change
configuration so that at home I can make the laptop part of home workgroup
and share files and a printer.  I also have a utility installed on the
laptop called Net Switcher II to accomplish that but it does not work for
me.  I will appreciate help in this regard.
