"Workgroup"

Having inadvertantly created a new "workgroup"- how do i
get rid of it????

I'm not sure I know what you mean by that. Where do you see this workgroup
that you want to remove?

Just remove each machine from the incorrect w/group..
Simply assigning a machine to a workgroup creates that workgroup.

So long as no machines belong to the workgroup, it ceases to exist.
It will disapear from the browse list of its own accord in due course.

If you wish to force the issue:

- Ensure all the machines belong to the correct workgroup;
- Shut them all down;
- Boot one machine ( the 'main' one, if there is such a thing );
- Wait a few minutes after booting, till the browser
elections are done with. Since theres only one machine,
the election victory is kind of certain.
- Now look in the browse list.
- You should see the new w/g with one machine in it.
- Boot the other machines one by one.
- Observe them appearing on the browse list.

The 'wrong' w/g will not re-appear unless one
machine still belongs to it.
