How do I change network name from workgroups to something else
i need to know how i can change the vista ultimate workgroup name from
workgroup to something else. i think i have done it fine in the control panel for network and sharing, but don't think it worked or something else was wrong cus i still couldn't see anything unless the vista pc was off. or how can i change the network name in xp home? it is mshome and i would change it to workgroup on the xphome pc. or in vista i would change it to mshome. but i prefer i think changing the vista to mshome.

Thanks Dave. I believe this works and is how I thought it was in xp. not sure if it works though cus i have done this and from my xbox still couldn't see anything as vista pc was on and also in the xp home it still said it was mshome for some reason even tho i already did change it.
