Changing Workgroup Names

Postby Blueracer » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:22 am

I am trying to change all my Win XP & Vista machines workgroup names to match the Amahi domain name. I went to the tab "Computer Name" in the "System Properties" window and changed the workgroup in there on one of my machines. When I checked in windows explorer that computer appeared under both the workgroup name and the Amahi Domain name. But later it disappeared from the Amahi Domain name. Could someone let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

You're not doing anything wrong!

The Amahi domain name is not the same as a Windows workgroup. You can still access your Amahi install through Windows File Explorer by typing in the location \\hda. 8-)
