I use a notebook with windows xp professional.

In the office, I must log into a windows 2003 server, while at home I use a
peer-to-peer network. How can I set up the laptop to give me a choice of
logging into either network?

If you have a local user account with administrator rights on the notebook,
you can join it to your home workgroup; and, if the default policy has not
been changed on your office domain, you can rejoin the domain when you
return to the office using your domain user credentials.

However, probably you can access your home network resources with the
notebook even if you logon with cached domain credentials. You may get
better results if you log onto the local machine and/or change the name of
your home workgroup to the NetBIOS name of the office domain.
