 | From "My Network
Places", we find
the equivalent of
"Network Neighborhood"
as "Computers Near Me".
( Note: if you make a logon to
a domain server, there will be no
"Computer Near Me" displayed")
As long as
"File and Printer Sharing"
is active on the system,
your system has to be
displayed
(in this example: "C500"),
even if you have not
yet shared anything.
But what about other
computers on the
network
(I am missing my old system
called P120_HOME) ?
|
 | Nothing ?
Lets use the link to
"Search for Computers"
(the Windoes 2000 equivalent of the
Win95/98/NT4 "Find"/"Computer") |
 | Search for "P120_HOME"
finds the other computer
on the network, in the
"Location" NT4_T300,
which is the name of the
workgroup.
(So, is Location a new word
for Workgroup ? )
|
 | The workgroup, to which
your system belongs, is defined in the Properties of
"My Computer",
Tab: Network Identification".
By default, the name of
the workgroup is
"WORKGROUP"
To change it, click on the
button "Properties" |
 | This is the location to
define/change:
- Computer name
- Member of Domain
or Workgroup
- Domain/Workgroup Name
|
 |
a new windows pops up,
welcoming you in the
new workgroup.
Changing the name of
the Workgroup |
 | requires still to reboot
your system for the change
to take effect. |
 | The dialog-box will
show the reminder,
that a reboot is required. |
