My work laptop (runs XP Pro) is a member of a domain. I have a
workgroup set up at home (all computers running XP Home). How do get
the laptop to join the home workgroup?

When I start the Network Setup Wizard on the laptop, I get the message
"... computer belongs to a domain .... cannot use this wizard to setup
a network ...".

I can access the internet through the wireless router.

Thanks for your assistance.
