Is it possible access to a shared folder of a XP member domain form a
NT Workstation in a WorkGroup ?. This WS is on a second NIC.

Thanks

If you have a local account on the server (domain member computer) and on the NT
computer, with identical, non-blank passwords, you can access resources as if
both computers are workgroup members. You treat your NT computer as an XP Home
computer, and not join the domain, as described in my article.
