I have office laptop which is connected to domain. When ever I take my office laptop to home I want to access shared folder from Home PC which runs in LUbuntu 14.04.

Since hope PC is not in same windows group as my office PC but both are on same network at home, how do I share files between two computer?

Thank you all

I don't think the domain matter here.
Just access via smb://office_laptop_ip_or_hostname/shared_drive_name

To check on the shared resources

smbclient -L hostname_or_ip_address

Use IP address instead.
