Word :    Username :

My Son was playing with my laptop from work. He was trying to make it
connect to our home network. In the process he finally admitted to running
the network wizard and selected workgroup setup instead of domain since
that's what we run at the house. I'm guessing this is the problem.

When it boots now, I only get the lines for username and password but not
the third for Domain. It has always had three lines even though the domain
is always set to N/A. When I try to log in it tells me to make sure my
username and domain are correct then type in my password again. Like I said,
there is no selection for domain.

I tried to restore to last known config but that didn't work. I can get to a
command prompt. Is there any way to put it back on the domain from the
command prompt? Any suggestions short of taking it to the techie guys next
year?

Thanks

Hi,

To change it back, you will need to go to the "computer name" tab of system
properties in the control panel. Click the "change" button to get started.
