Connecting laptop to multiple domains
When I move from a client to another and I want to log onto their network, actually I log on locally, go to the My Computer properties, Network Identification and Properties in which I can change the Domain name but this requires the LAN admin to re-authenticate me to its network (enter a user id and a password).
Is there any way to have multiple login domains?
I have Windows 2000 Pro on my laptop.

then you should be able to manually authenticate to the sql
but for issues like this you should get the clients support team to help you out..
1 they know the system
2 in the event that something go's wrong while you are connected to their system, they can't blame you for messing around on their network
(if anyone started messing around on my network with portables that aren't from my company without consulting me... i would be having a real party kicking his furry little ass of the network...)

I don't want to mess any network. I have been authenticated once for each network and I don't want disturb the network administrator every time I go from client to client (which is 2 or 3 times a week).
I agree with svdamme. Leave your laptop in one domain. Have the network admin of the other create you a sql account. If you have to use more than just sql, ie.. printers or network drives. You can simply map a drive to the server using a valid nt account, and you should be able to get to all the other resources.

moreover, why ee got so slow?! btw, 3 years ago, it had no search enginee. sorry for the chating comments.
emoreau, just assume, is it possible to connect those domains?

Yes I already had connected to these domains, but when I travel from one clients to the other, the administrator needs to authenticate me again because the name of its domain no more appear in the "login domain" combo of the login dialog.
Suppose I am now connected at client1, I see Client1 and Local in my login domain.
I go to the client2 office, the administrator authenticate me and from now, I see Client2 and Local in my login domain (client1 disappeared).

no, that isnt what i asked. i mean, is it possible to find a way to connect those domains *together*, *not* connect your laptop to those domain. if we can do so, it is possible to do what you what.

not really possible
in other words, based on domains trusting..., not only one domain. of course, it depends on your business model and physical locations, not only a technical problem.

The Symantec free download has been discontinued. Try the other 2 programs I suggested. Both are good.
