5.3.6.Windows XP: Modifying a workgroup name
It may happen that you need to change the name of your workgroup (advanced users only). To do so,
proceed as follows:
1. Click Start/Control Panel/Performance and
Maintenance/System.
2. In the System Properties window, select the Computer
Name tab.
3. Click the Change… button.
4. In the Computer Name zone, enter a name sufficiently
distinctive that it can easily be recognized in the list of
computers for the workgroup (my-computer, wifi-
computer or julie, for example).
5. In the Workgroup zone, enter a name for the group
(HOME, OFFICE or HERCULES, for example).
The workgroup name must be identical (be sure to respect the
case of letters) for all computers you wish to link together in a
network.
6. A Windows message indicates that the task has been
carried out successfully and that you must restart the
computer.
7. Repeat this procedure for each computer.
