Moved from home office computer. Try to connect to the home network. Working Group changed now it won't let me connect you to Windows. It is the search for field. What can I do now?

My TI guy told me to do the following...

go to my computer, and then click Properties. Then go in the name of the computer from a network to a working group. I entered the name of my working group. Then it tells me to restart so I did.

Now when I try to get into windows that connect, when I enter the username and password he tells me to check and make sure that they are correct and check the field. It does give me an option to choose a domain.

It's husband's computer and I need to run quickly. Any help would be appreciated.

Note please. I am a novice user and that you will need as more detailed instructions you can give.

Thank you

BTW - Windows XP Professional is installed on the PC.

Not good.

When you remove a computer from a domain, and put in a workgroup, you must ensure that you have a local user account with administrative privileges created on the machine before removing the domain.  Maybe the built-in Administrator account will work, but in most domain environments, the default password [White] is replaced by a different password.  Microsoft has an article that deals with this:

"You can not connect after you remove the computer from the domain.
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317049 >

Your technician COMPUTER should have known this would be a problem.  If you are a novice user and you can not access the built-in Administrator account, then your best bet to get must return to the domain and have your guys IT re - join to the domain.  Make sure you have a local user with administrative privileges created before withdrawing again to the field.

Note that you normally will not have to remove a computer from a domain to make it work in a home-networking environment (working group).  You should be able to connect using the credentials cached [field] and your home network must always be visible to you.
