Naming the computers and the
workgroup
Each computer on the network must have a unique name and
be identified as part of a workgroup. Naming each computer
must be done individually on each computer.
If you have an existing network make sure that you give the
new computers you are adding to the network the same
workgroup name.
The Windows XP Network Setup Wizard steps you through the
process of naming each computer, setting the network
workgroup name, and other network settings. To name your
computers and workgroup in Windows XP, go to “Naming the
computers and the workgroup in Windows XP” on page 10.
To name your computers and workgroup in Windows 2000, go
to “Naming the computers and the workgroup in
Windows 2000” on page 17.
To name your computers and workgroup in Windows 98SE or
Windows Me, see “Naming the computers and the workgroup
in Windows 98SE or Windows Me” on page 18
.
Naming the computers and the workgroup in
