Tazmun,
Both workgroups and domains in NT/2000 are Windows-specific
implementations that run over the SMB protocol (which in turn runs on top
of TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or NetBEUI). In Linux, we use Samba to talk to Windows
machines over SMB. This is all to support Network Neighborhood, file and
printer sharing, and NT domain authentication. If you don't need these
services, then you can simply set up a DNS server and configure TCP/IP in
both Linux and Windows 2000 to use that DNS server.
