Domain would be with a server controlling login access, workgroup is peer-to-peer.
IS IT CORRECT..
iF YES..
THEN
Few More Doubts..
1.Can a windows pc be a part of domain and peer to peer with same username?
2. Does computer location or name is also validated in domain name.
3. How will we know in network neighbourhood that a pc is of domain or workgroup?

I find this site good for explaining terms
1. You can be part of a domain and still communicate with computers that are not. Those computers would need to have local accounts that match your username and password.Quote:

2. Your sentence doesn't really make sense, but the computer name is recorded on the domain controller. All computers have accounts on the domain, the same way that users do. And the computers also have passwords.
3. You can't. If you want to list the machines in a domain, use Server Manager in NT4 environments or Active Directory Users and Computers console in Win2000/2003. Network Neighborhood is just for browsing.
This post would probably fit better in the Windows NT or Windows 2000 forums.
That's correct. A domain is a secure environment that is able to provide procise security rules on a computer or user basis. Usually domains are setup in large corporate networks that allows central user account administration, storage of user files on a server, fine control over what each user and computer is allowed to do, and other features that aren't for a typical home networks. You'll need a "server" operating system for a domain. A workgroup is basically just an easy way to find computers on the network.Quote:
