I assume that you are running Samba somehow, as Samba uses workgroup names to meet Windows networking conventions. The Windows machines on a network need to have a workgroup, Linux machines don't have to have a workgroup, but may to fool Windows. -- Linux User #183693 http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The default samba workgroup is 'mdkgroup',that's what I wanna change. The Windows machines on a network need to have a workgroup, Linux machines don't have to have a workgroup, but may to fool Windows. Do you mean that it doesn't matter? I can connect to windows machines on a different workgroup (MSHOME) but does it mean no matter what the linux workgroup is I can *always* connect to the MSHOME workgroup?

[newbie] Workgroup change
I know someone told me how to do this a couple of weeks ago, but I just can't find my notes. How do I change workgroups so komba2 will see my 9.2 cooked box as part of the windows workgroup?

For lack of another way, I went to mcc and restarted with the wizard. This time I checked the internet connection and the komba2 connection before leaving mcc. All was well, mdkgroup and home workgroup and the internet. When I closed mcc, the connection went down. I reopened mcc, started the connection, and this time cancelled instead of saying ok. Network stayed up. Must be the cooker mystique? Well, time for the VMware again. Four more to go.
