Two questions...<br><br>
1) Is he using Simple File Sharing (look at the last entry under Folder
Options in the Control Panel)?<br><br>
2) Is the machine actually a member of the domain? That is, when you say
he "logs into the domain at work", do you mean he does this
from the login dialog on the machine or using a batch file or a net use,
for instance?<br><br>
If the machine is a member of the domain, then when setting the
permissions, you will need to connect to the DC to get the list of
users--for some reason, I've seen 2000 and XP not use your existing
credentials when using some MMC-like interfaces, such as those for
setting file/folder permissions.<br><br>
I can elaborate if necessary.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>One of the physicists here is using
a laptop with Windows XP. He logs into the laptop at home to work
and creates files. When he uses that laptop to log into the domain
at work, he does not have permission to see the files that he created (it
is in a directory directly off of c: not in the my documents
folder). I logged into the domain as administrator and tried to add
domain\user to the permissions, but it would only let me see the users on
the machine name, not on the domain. There must be an easy answer
to this that I am missing. These files are integral to the
operation of the lab, so I have temporarily given him administative
priviledges on the domain so that he can see the files. There must
be a better way.<br><br>
