Workgroup name
Hello I am having some troubles with my Windows Vista. I am running WINDOWS
VISTA HOME PREMIUM, the problem is that I am unable to change my Workgroup name, whenever i open the window to do it the box with the Workgroup name is grayed out, even using the administrator account. Also another problem i noticed is that when i try to enable "file sharing" in Network and Sharing center instead of "on" it is set to "custom" no matter what I do, and I cannot acces other computers in the Network but others can acces mine. (This is a wireless home network), So my question is What can I DO????? Thanks in advance

Workgroup name
Try a manual setup of the network at the control panel/system/advanced
settings and click on the Network ID box and run through it. "cpereira" wrote in message ... Hello I am having some troubles with my Windows Vista.
