I have a new laptop that I use when traveling from building to building on my network. I look over 2 domains that cover multiple buildings. I am able to join both networks with no problem. What is happening however is that once I join Domain B my laptop loses it's credentials for Domain A. When I want to log back onto Doamin A I have to log on locally to the laptop and rejoin Domain A (which removes my credentials for Domain B). This is becoming a huge pain! Does anyone have a work around or solution for this problem? Being able to select the option to log in to multiple domains was never a problem on my Win2K laptop.

XP Pro Joining Multiple Domians

I have the same issue with domains in four different cities and this worked for me. I did not join any domain, I mapped the network and printers using the IP address instead of the server name. On occasion I am prompted for a password when I try to access the network, but overall XP does a good job of ‘remembering’ the password. When you add a printer you need to type the IP address and share name (\\***.***.***.***\share) for the printer.
