Laptop Problem

I'v got a wirless network set up and my laptop connects to it fine, but when I try to add it to the actual network (as in file sharing network) I have a problem.

As soon as I launch the network set up wizard I get this :

"Cannot complete the network setup wizard.

The wizard detected that this computer belongs to a domain, therefore you cannot use this wizard to set up a network".

The laptop already has a vpn connection set up, could this be the problem?

Please help me as I can't print from the laptop wirlessley. The printer doesn't have a print server but is shared from my host computer which therefore acts as a server. Printing wirlessley from my other computer works fine so therefore its not a router problem just a laptop one.
 
Your domain is different, and must be the same as the network you are trying to join. Look under the properties of my computer, and change the domain.
 
you could write the document out.

no, im kidding...that is a horrible experience. whoever invented writing must have had something ot do with the invention of torture.
