Default Sharing files between Vista Domain PC and Home Workgroup Laptop

Greetings,

I am new to vista and as the admin I have installed Vista on 'my' computers
before rolling it out. RIght now I am having problems sharing files between
my Work Computer (which is part of a windows 2000 domain) and my Laptop which
is a member of my personal workgroup at my home.

When I try to access a share on the Machine that is a domain member I get
the error: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary
domain failed.

But when I go the otherway around and connect from my PC (Domain) to my
Laptop (workgroup) I am prompted for username and password and everything
works fine.

Is there any way to fix this so that non domain members of a visiting
workgroup can access files and printers?

Default Sharing files between Vista Domain PC and Home Workgroup Laptop

In this case, creating the same username and password on both computers.

Should it not prompt for username and password?

I understand that is how it works in a workgroup, but I am connecting to a
domain controlled PC.
