I'm not sure the domain networking will not work.  I don't have any Vista
machines here at work where we do use domains so I can't test this right away
and I don't use a domain at home, so it won't be easy to test it there either.
But if you follow the instructions I gave in another post, I'd be 
willing to bet
that you can use "net use" to map network drives in a domain just like in a
workgroup environment simply by providing the appropriate "domain\user"
credentials in the command line.

It would make sense for it to work this way (even though most of the domain
stuff may have been stripped out).

Maybe I can setup my Vista machine with work's VPN software, log in and 
then try
to map a drive to a server in a domain through the VPN.  The VPN login 
requires
a domain user to authenticate, but once I'm in, I should be able to open
Windows Explorer and map a network drive to a server in the domain.

I probably won't be doing this tonight, but when I do get around to doing it,
I'll post my findings.

Thanks.
