Connect to 2 networks

Connect to 2 networks
Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
Scenario is my work lappy is setup to connect to the office network, so workgroup/domain etc is for office setup.
But I would like to connect to my home network with the lappy to, without upsetting the office settings. I use a netgear router at home.
I can of course get net access with the lappy through my home connection, just don't know how I can join my home network as well, without changing the workgroup etc, which then means I can't rejoin the office network without a server admin account n pass.

Are shares on other computers causing problems?

He already said internet isn't a problem so I doubt a proxy is used, same goes for static IP, net is working which would lead me to believe both networks are DHCP
group policies may affect this from working however

You can fix the MAC > IP binding's on the netgear which I would do, then the computers always have the same IP every time
I was at first going to say to take simple file sharing off but the guide said to enable it

i would of just setup another profile, so when your laptop boots, you can choose between work or home. Thats what we do at the nhs, we setup a roaming profile and a docked profile for when they are in the office.
