When I try to login to our WSS demo site the authentication popup forces me to use the domain I'm currently using on my local computer. The WSS site does not have the same domain.

I'm running IE8 on Windows 7. How do I change the domain!?

One of my collegues helped me and now I feel like an idiot!

In IE8 the authentication popup first wants you to login as your domain user but you also have the choice to "Use another account". When clicking that choice your local domain is displayed below the texbox like "Domain: LOCALDOMAIN". And when you start typing "MYDOMAIN\xyz" in the username box it changes to "Domain: MYDOMAIN"!

Simple as that!
