How to connect to a shared folder on a different domain then your PC?

Say your comput reis part of WORKGROUP... But then you go to your office and their network have a domain call DOMAIN... Without using VPN or changing your domain to their domain name, how can you gain access to their shared folders?

Using Win XP SP2 and Win 2003 Server machines...

I know you can do it if you set the security of the shared folder to everyone... but isn't there a way to add a user or computer even if they are not in your domain?

Thank you

Thats entirely up to your office network administrator! I doubt that they have their network open to just anyone!

Enter \\computer\sharename into your address bar. For example \\myserver\shared.
