Hi all,
I have an X61 and am trying to configure access connections for my home and work networks. My work requires that I be on a domain name to stay on their network. For that, I used the wired LAN connection. At home, I have a static IP on a wireless network. I have a home network that uses a workgroup name so I can share drives and resources. I have configured Lenovo's Access Connections program to easily switch between the two network profiles, but I cannot figure out a way that I can change the domain/workgroup so that I can share network drives et al. Suggestions?
-
it's under the computer name tab in system properties in vista.
but you haven't even stated what OS you're running -
Thanks for the quick reply!
No, I know how to change the domain and workgroup name. I don't know how to configure it through Access Connections so that I can use different profiles for work and home. It would somewhat defeat the purpose of the utility, if that for every time I came home I had to change the workgroup through the system, reboot (as is required), log-on, and then change my network profile. Isn't the whole point of the program to be able to change your ability to access your network at work, and then at home? -
you are right
and I don't know the answer -
it might be doing this automatically
I'm at a coffee shop with wifi and my workgroup name is the default "workgroup"
but at home, I have a different one, and access connections automatically connects to both
Access Connections and changing domain name
