Could someone tell/show me how to change my network wifi from home to public? I have been having issues this week at my college campus. I asked an IT guy on campus the other day and his solution did not involve the 'regular' taskbar wireless settings. He told me that my settings were for home...

All of my computers at work are on a domain controlled by a SBS 2003 Server except for an old Windows 2000 Server that I have printers attached to it that the network uses. All of the windows 2000 computers and XP can access the printers and drive on this machine outside of the domain but the...
